CROP LARGER THAN EXPECTED

Canola, wheat beat expectations

The Canadian crop is much smaller than last year’s record harvest but production turned out better than was expected earlier this fall.

Statistics Canada’s farmer survey shows canola and wheat production topped analysts’ expectations. Durum was also up from the September outlook, but analysts expected that. Flax, peas and some special crops turned out worse than expected.

Statistics Canada report | Total production lower than 2013-14, better than expected

There wasn’t a collective yawn when Statistics Canada released its final crop estimate Dec. 5, but there may have been collective eye rolling.

Instead of reacting negatively to Statistics Canada’s estimates that canola and wheat estimates were higher than previously estimated,

the market took it all in stride.

Statistics Canada pegged canola 1.5 million tonnes higher than its estimate of 14 million tonnes in the previous report, which was issued Oct. 3. The new 15.5 million tonnes estimate should have sparked a market drop, but canola prices rose after a brief dip, said market analyst Errol Anderson of ProMarket Wire.

Non-GM flax variety in limbo Flax council withdraws funding agreement for Cibus research project

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A breeding project that was supposed to bring flax into the 21st century has stalled.

The Flax Council of Canada has stopped funding a multimilliondollar project to develop a nongenetically modified herbicide tolerant line of flax.

In 2010, the council announced with much fanfare that it had signed an agreement with Cibus Global to develop and commercialize herbicide tolerant flax using Cibus’s patented Rapid Trait Development System (RTDS).

The council had said it would pay Cibus $5.5 million to develop the trait, with up to $4 million of that coming from the federal government.

Canola performs “When that canola number came out, I thought the canola market would drop below $400 a tonne because, in all honesty, it should, but since then we have seen strength in the soybeans, and canola has done nothing but go up after Stats Can,” he said.

“It is a reflection the market is trading off its own ideas right now. I think the trade to some degree will discount Stats Can somewhat and trade off their own numbers.”

Anderson said industry estimated the 2014 canola crop to be around 15 million tonnes, not the 15.5 million tonnes in the report.

Statistics Canada pegged the wheat crop at 29.2 million tonnes, up from its previous estimate of 27.4 million tonnes. Anderson believes this is also about half a million tonnes too high.

The discrepancy between what Statistics Canada reports from its sur veys with farmers and what industry believes to be the correct final crop numbers is not new, said Anderson.

“It has been going on for quite some time. Every time a government number comes out that appears out of whack, the trade just disregards it,” he said.

“It’s not the first time. The trade is pretty astute on their knowledge on supply and demand. Certainly Stats Can is an indicator, but it certainly is not God-like to the trade.”

Brenda Tjaden Lepp, chief analyst with Farm Link Marketing Solutions, said her firm looked at the Statistics Canada numbers, but like other industry analysts, didn’t believe there was an additional 1.5 million tonnes of canola on Canadian farms.

“It was interesting on Friday (Dec. 5) to see the markets start to go lower, turn around and go higher, and that was a reflection that it wasn’t a very bearish surprise to the people who actually have money in the game,” she said.

Tjaden-Lepp said her company was using 15.3 million tonnes of

canola for their calculations.

“So people are looking at the huge increase in the canola and wheat estimates between October and December, but we had been using a bigger canola number for a long time, and so had pretty much every one else in the industry,” she said.

Despite industry analysts questioning the validity of Statistics Canada numbers, Tjaden-Lepp said producers and analysts who are trying to market crops need to enter some kind of supply and demand numbers into their tables throughout the winter. By spring they can compare Statistics Canada’s supply estimates with the Canadian Grain Commission’s export data.

“Everyone has their own different use of these S and Ds, but it’s a pretty important tool for us, I’d say. It would be nice if we didn’t see two and a half million tonne changes from one report to the next on these major crops. It really makes our work a lot more challenging to not have credible production numbers out of Stats Can.” The other crop estimates held fewer surprises.

Flax production was estimated at 847,000 tonnes. In September, Statistics Canada estimated production at 922,000 tonnes. Last year’s crop was 724,000 tonnes.

Tjaden-Lepp said her company anticipated increased flax yields from last year and had advised clients to have already sold 60 percent of their crop. They would add to their flax sales if Statistics Canada had come in closer to a million tonnes.

“That 847,000 is pretty close to where we were expecting.”

Anderson said he likes the flax estimate and is expecting good buyer demand for flax with strong bids.

Statistics Canada’s report was based on a survey of 26,200 farmers conducted from Oct. 22 to Nov. 13. mary.macarthur@producer.com

Flax project in limbo “It will bring the crop into the 21st century,” said then council president Barry Hall.

Flax is a poor weed competitor and has few herbicide options for weed control. Growers have long desired more competitive varieties, but they don’t want GM flax.

The accidental release of Triffid, a GM flax variety developed by the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre, decimated sales of Canadian flax to Europe when it was discovered in shipments in 2009.

Cibus’s herbicide tolerant flax was viewed as a non-GM solution that could boost flax yields by 15 to 20 percent.

Hall said the trait would help the industry meet its ambitious acreage and production expansion goals.

“Cibus will make these goals a reality thanks to its non-transgenic RTDS system that will deliver us the highvalue traits we need to make flax easier and more profitable to grow while maintaining the level of quality that our customers demand,” he said in a news release announcing the deal.

“We hope it is just the first of many traits we develop together, including oil quality and quantity improvements.”

Cibus estimated the new herbicide tolerant system would come to market in 2015.

That is not going to happen.

“The Cibus project is on hold,” current council president Don Kerr told growers last week at Agri-Trend’s 2014 Farm Forum Event.

He said Cibus was unable to meet certain technical thresholds for the project, which forced the council to pull its funding in June, four years into the venture.

“We were at a point where it was either fish or cut bait. We had to do it,” said Kerr.

He said the program is in the reevaluation process.

The cash-strapped council had already spent $2.86 million on the project in government and council funding.

“We didn’t see that putting more money towards it at that point was going to be beneficial,” said Kerr.

“We’re still in contact with the company that was working on it. We’re not quite sure what the next step is going to be.”

The project failure will make it harder for the council to achieve its goal to boost national average flax yields to 32 bushels per acre from 24 over the next three years.

The council and the federal government are funding other weed control research projects at universities and Agriculture Canada through the federal AgriInnovation program.

“It’s going to take some time to see the results of it, but it’s definitely in the works,” said Kerr. sean.pratt@producer.com

ALBERTA | CROP DISEASE

Crop disease levels ‘concerning’ Alberta farmers urged to use field management tools to prevent spread of ergot, fusarium

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

MEDICINE HAT, Alta. — Diseases in the heads of grain crops are creating more frequent headaches for Alberta farmers.

Ergot and fusarium headblight are showing up more frequently and will have to be remedied with a variety of treatments, said Alberta Agriculture plant pathologist Michael Harding.

Speaking at the Dec. 2-3 Farming Smarter conference, Harding said figures show a steady rise of ergot contamination in the province, in contrast to Saskatchewan, where incidence sporadically rises and falls.

“That’s concerning,” said Harding.

Canadian Grain Commission statistics indicate that 20 percent of grain samples from some regions have been downgraded because of ergot in some recent years.

Fusarium statistics are no better.

Incidence of that disease has risen dramatically in the last five years, as has the severity. “(Over that time), the average sample in Alberta would have been downgraded,” Harding said.

“Now we’re getting evidence from the Canadian Grain Commission that it’s increasing.”

Ergot differs from fusarium in its production of sclerotia, the fungal bodies that can overwinter in soil or

The disease also has a second spore stage, during which an ambercoloured ooze called honeydew develops on the heads of cereal grain.

This honeydew contains spores that can be splash dispersed or spread by insects.

Sclerotia replace kernels, leading to yield loss, downgraded quality and poisonous mycotoxins that are dangerous to humans and livestock.

Ergot is a problem in any monocot, including barley, wheat, oats, triticale, rye and grassy weeds.

Harding said researchers in Swift

Current, Sask., and Winnipeg are making inroads in the ergot battle.

“Right now we don’t have any real resistance to ergot in any of our classes of wheat or barley, but on the horizon, that’s going to become a reality,” he said.

“My understanding is that there will be up and coming varieties that will have some level of increased tolerance. I don’t think it’s going to be complete resistance, but varieties that will do better, cultivars that will do better against ergot than the ones that we currently have. Right now it’s not a tool that’s available.”

That leaves management tools such as planting non-host rotation crops and increasing seeding rates to limit tillers.

Managing alternate hosts, such as weeds in ditches and headlands, can also limit infection. Harding recommended that headlands be harvested separately if possible because they are most likely to have ergot.

Delayed swathing might also allow wind to dislodge ergot bodies in the cereal heads, allowing a better grade.

The battle against fusarium will also require fights on different fronts, said Harding.

“Will fusarium graminearum become well established throughout the province? Maybe.”

Recent years of cool, wet growing seasons likely worsened the problem, he added.

“It could be that the weather has driven this situation, and it will back off if we get some warm summers, but we certainly see that it’s capable of being a problem in areas outside of southern Alberta.”

Fusarium is stubble-borne and produces two types of spores, leading to head blight as well as seedling blight.

Management keys include resistant varieties, fungicides to suppress it, healthy seed and crop residue management. barb.glen@producer.com

Trains can’t be built for winter, says expert Optimizing transportation | Changing demands for shipping means industry requires interchangeable equipment

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Harsh winter is a fact of life in Western Canada, but farmers shouldn’t hold their breath waiting for winteroptimized grain trains, says a former railway vice-president.

Not only would winter-best trains likely be worse for the rest of the year, but railway manufacturers aren’t too interested in customizing equipment for the Prairies.

“You’ve got that wintertime effect on … 40 percent of the network for eight, 10, 12 weeks, but you want hard, wear-resistant rail across the entire network for 12 months of the year,” said Paul Miller, who is now “railroader-in-residence” at the University of Alberta.

“You’ve got to find that balance.”

It might seem like a no-brainer for Canada’s rail lines, hopper cars and locomotives to be designed to deal with temperatures that fall below -25 C a few times each winter. It’s a sentiment that farmers, grain companies and exporters often express when rail transportation begins having major problems when those conditions appear.

However, Miller said that the grain industry is one of the toughest railreliant industries for which to achieve rail optimization. Unlike potash, coal and sulfur, which can operate regular shipments throughout the year, grain shipments ebb and flow through the year on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border.

It means that specially designated trains, in which rail cars and locomotives are kept together permanently, virtually don’t exist in the grain industry. Even in the United States, where shuttle trains of dedicated locomotives and cars operate regularly in the grain industry, they run that way only for a few months at a time. Then the locomotives and cars are broken up and sent to places that have more demand for them.

As a result, locomotive and car owners need equipment that is interchangeable across the North American network, which means it can’t be

For example, Miller said air brakes begin to work poorly at below -25 C. Electronically controlled pneumatic ( E C P ) b ra k e s a re a n e x c e l l e nt replacement, but they can’t be installed in locomotives and hoppers that will later need to be mixed with non-ECP trains.

“Any constraint you put on translates very quickly to a reduction in capacity,” said Miller.

The same goes for the steel wheels on which cars and locomotives rely. Anything that makes them tougher in the deepest cold is likely to work worse during the rest of the year.

Even if Canadian railways wanted

to optimize their rail lines, locomotives and cars for winter, they might not be able to buy any.

North America has only two locomotive manufacturers and few car builders, and they produce standard vehicles for all conditions. They probably aren’t interested in producing customized machines for specific conditions.

That means Western Canada’s grain industry, which includes the railways, must rely on steady incremental improvements in performance rather than breakthrough inventions that could dramatically improve the system. ed.white@producer.com

Grain crisis forcing co-operation across logistics system

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

A tide of cautious hope for reconciliation is washing through the grain transportation system after a year of fighting.

“I think communication is the best thing to solve a problem,” John Corey, a dispute resolution specialist with the Canadian Transportation Agency, told the Fields on Wheels conference Dec. 3.

“If your car is late for a day or a week, calling the railway and asking what’s going on, or better yet, getting a call from the railway telling you that it’s not going to come at certain times, goes a long way towards alleviating the tensions between the parties.”

That view was echoed a number of times at both Fields on Wheels, a

yearly University of Manitoba Transport Institute grain logistics conference in Winnipeg, and at Informa Economics’ Canadian Agriculture and Food Outlook conference in Calgary Dec. 5.

Industry players said the various parts of the complicated grain transportation system need to work together because disputes, penalties and regulatory intervention are blunt instruments that often have unintended consequences.

Farmers said a particular problem is how producer car deliveries were sideswiped by the railway response to minimum grain shipping targets.

Paul Miller, a railway consultant, University of Alberta professor and former Canadian National Railway vice-president who spoke at both conferences, urged shippers to work

with railways to improve performance because overhauling the system can’t be done easily or cheaply.

“The best thing we can do is work more closely together, have much better communication about when things are going wrong, in advance, what can we do together to innovate up and down the supply chain.”

Farmers, grain companies and other industries were exasperated in the winter of 2013-14 by apparently poor railway service and the seemingly casual railway response to the crisis. The federal government eventually responded with new regulations and penalties.

Bryan Richards, president of Regina’s Global Transportation Hub Authority, said the industry is being forced to try to co-operate.

“It’s critical,” he told the Informa

conference.

“Many frayed nerves, if not open hostility, occurred over the past several months. I think everyone’s getting into the realm of working together.”

Speakers at both conferences talked about the complications that are involved in railways being investorowned companies but also having a responsibility to society. An array of industry players, including railroaders, accepted the notion that railways need to go beyond looking out for shareholder interests.

“We definitely have a social role to play,” CN vice-president Jean-Jacques Ruest said at Fields on Wheels.

“I think people can find more common ground when they meet face-toface as opposed to talk through the newspaper. I think we need to get

down to the basics of what needs to be done and what can be done.”

Freight Management Association of Canada president Bob Ballantyne told the Informa conference that shippers are glad to have regulatory measures that can be used against the railways in case performance is poor.

However, he hopes official complaints and disputes won’t be needed if railways understand their dual natures as public and private companies and develop a more collegial relationship with customers.

“There is a lot of distrust that has developed over a lot of years, a lot of decades in fact, and it’s not in anybody’s interest for this to continue,” said Ballantyne. ed.white@producer.com

New canola trait will arrive in the U.S. before Canada Delay could be years | U.S. growers to seed Cibus’ sulfonylurea tolerant canola next year

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

U.S. canola growers will have access to new non-genetically modified traits years before their Canadian counterparts, says a seed technology company.

Canada’s variety registration system and plant with novel traits safety assessment will create significant lag times in the commercial introduction of new traits from Cibus Global, according to the company.

Cibus uses its patented Rapid Trait Development System to conduct directed mutagenesis on plant genes.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has determined the technology is non-transgenic, so Cibus’s new traits are not subject to the regulatory scrutiny of GM crops.

That is not the case in Canada, where all new plant traits are subject to the same regulatory review no matter how they were created.

Those traits have to be field tested in expensive confined trials in some of the worst areas for growing crops, said Dave Voss, vice-president of commercial development with Cibus.

In addition, new crops have to go through a lengthy variety registration process in Canada that they don’t face in the United States.

The upshot is that new canola traits developed by Cibus will hit the market in the U.S. well in advance of Canada.

“At minimum, there will be two years (delay) and most likely three to four,” said Voss.

That doesn’t sit well with Brett Halstead, president of the Canadian Canola Growers Association.

“That puts us at a competitive disadvantage with some of our world competitors. That’s not a good thing,” he said.

Halstead thinks Canada’s regulatory approval process is cumbersome, but he doesn’t want to tinker with the two-year variety registration process.

“I’m comfortable with our variety registration system here on canola.

It’s much more flexible than it is in cereals,” he said.

Cibus’s first product is a non-GM sulfonylurea tolerant canola, which was launched in the U.S. last month.

The Canadian lag time won’t be as long as with future products because Cibus had to get the initial USDA ruling that the technology was nonGM. The product has received full regulatory approval from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada, but the herbicide used in the new system needs to be approved by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency and the hybrids have to make their way through Canada’s variety registration system.

“The earliest we can get into Canada is 2016,” said Voss.

The company expects U.S. growers will plant 40,000 to 50,000 acres of the new herbicide tolerant canola system next spring. Most of the acres will be in North Dakota, Montana and Minnesota.

Canola was seeded on 1.7 million acres in the U.S. this year.

Voss thinks SU canola will be a nice rotational fit for U.S. soybean farmers because producers planting glyphosate tolerant soybeans are h av i n g p r o b l e m s c o n t r o l l i n g glyphosate tolerant canola volunteers.

“The early indications are that this will be a widely grown canola,” he said.

Halstead said Canadian interest will vary by farm. He wouldn’t grow the crop on his farm near Nokomis, Sask., because he grows peas, lentils and cereal crops that use Group 2 herbicides. Sulfonylurea is also a Group 2 herbicide.

“When you’re in pea and lentil country, I don’t know if it’s going to have the fit in that area,” he said.

However, it could prove popular with soybean growers in southern Manitoba.

Voss said the crop meets the growing U.S. demand for non-GM canola.

Pacific Coast Canola, a crushing plant in Warden, Washington, has said it will take all the non-GM canola that growers can produce.

Cibus has partnered with Rotam, an agricultural chemical company that has developed two new Group 2 herbicides to be used in conjunction with the SU canola system.

Rotam operates in 60 countries, but it is relatively new to North America.

The company has a presence in Mexico and a small but growing sales team in the U.S. The company’s Draft herbicide is in front of Canadian regulators.

“We’re using this kind of as our springboard to move into Canada,” said Steve Stansell, marketing manager for Rotam North America.

He said the herbicide will be competitively priced and easy to use. It controls more than 60 weeds and requires low rates of application.

Stansell expects the PMRA approval to be in place in time for the anticipated 2016 Canadian launch.

“The last indications are we’re on track to be on the same timeline as Cibus is with their registration,” he said.

Voss said SU canola is the first offering in what is expected to be a long list of canola traits. It is currently working on yield and quality enhancing traits.

“We have the ability to basically do all the current transgenic products that are on the marketplace with the exception of B.t. corn,” he said. sean.pratt@producer.com

Trade restricted after bird flu breakout Five cases confirmed | About 166,000 birds destroyed in British Columbia

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has placed most of British Columbia’s poultry industry under restricted movement to limit the spread of the deadly avian influenza.

Five chicken and turkey farms near Abbottsford and Chilliwack in B.C.’s Fraser Valley have tested positive for the deadly strain of avian influenza H5N2. About 166,000 birds have either died or been humanely destroyed since the discovery of the disease at the end of November.

The industry is hoping to limit the spread of the disease by placing most of B.C.’s poultry industry under restricted movement.

“The primary control zone is needed to contain or eradicate the spread of this outbreak,” said Dr. Harpreet Kochhar, CFIA’s chief veterinary officer, during a technical briefing Dec. 8.

The restricted zone borders the Pacific Ocean, the U.S. border, the Alberta border and Highway 16.

“It has been put in place to protect animal health, control disease spread and to minimize trade disruption to the poultry industry outside of the zone.”

Seven countries have imposed temporary trade restrictions on Canadian poultry and poultry products.

The United States, Mexico, Japan,

South Korea, China, Taiwan and South Africa have banned poultry from B.C. or all of Canada, while the U.S. has banned birds and hatching eggs, poultry meat, eggs and egg products and animal byproducts from British Columbia.

It is hoped that placing the control zone around the infected area will encourage those countries to limit their trade restrictions to B.C. or the Fraser Valley.

The highly contagious disease can spread rapidly between birds. It is anticipated additional farms may be confirmed in the coming weeks.

Dr. Jane Pritchard, chief veterinary officer for B.C., said depopulation and composting of the birds has begun on the first four farms identified with the virus.

To eradicate the disease from a farm, the birds are euthanized and they and their bedding and feed are composted inside the barn in an initial composting process. A second composting process takes place outside the barn. The heat from the composting is enough to kill the virus.

The source of the infection is not known, although officials are investigating the possibility it could have come from migratory birds.

Regular testing for viruses is done on migratory birds, but nothing has been flagged showing higher than

normal mortality in wild birds, said Kochhar.

There is a link between the three chicken barns. The second farm that tested positive for avian influenza was a broiler breeder farm that had sent chicks to the third and fourth farms identified.

The first and fifth farms testing positive for the virus are turkey far ms. There is no know n link between the two turkey farms or between the turkey and chicken farms, said Pritchard.

Farmers affected by avian influenza receive federal compensation based on the type of bird and the stage of production.

Under the primary control zone, restricted movement includes poultry, fowl and pet birds, poultry products and byproducts and anything that has been exposed to captive birds, which could include feed, vehicles, equipment or clothing.

Kochhar said the control zone can be reduced or lifted once the depopulated barns are cleaned and disinfected and no further avian influenza is found in the area.

Avian influenza poses little risk to people eating poultry if the meat is cooked properly. The virus can be transmitted to people, but usually only to those who work closely with the birds. mary.macarthur@producer.com

PRICE OUTLOOK | SUPPLY EXCEEDS DEMAND

Stormy weather for soybean, corn prices Soybeans, wheat, corn dismal | The end of the ethanol industry expansion and huge ending stocks mean bearish outlook

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

CALGARY — Farmers should prepare for crop prices well below the average of the 2006-13 “ethanol era” unless they base their expectations on disasters happening elsewhere, says Informa Economics.

“We expect price pressure to be pretty inexorable,” Informa executive vice-president Rob Westmoreland said at his firm’s annual Canadian market outlook conference.

“As we look out to next fall, conservatively talking about sub-$9 soybeans.”

All three major North American market-dominant crops are set to stay down in the doldrums, Informa analysts said. A reasonable guess for soybeans is $8.50 per bushel in 201516, $5-something per bu. for soft red winter wheat and about $3.50 per bu. for corn.

That grim assessment is based on stocks in all three major world crops being replenished after the justended Northern Hemisphere harvests and a likely big harvest in South America. Farmers shouldn’t assume today’s new crop futures prices will last.

“Don’t forget to take out a little protection. Sell something. Betting on another drought someplace probably isn’t a good idea,” Westmoreland said.

He said the market needs to convince some farmers to cut their acreage for the first time since crop demand began to increase to feed the ethanol industry.

“We’ve got to go to a level that makes somebody say, ‘ouch,’ and retreat from planting that next crop,” Westmoreland said.

It’s probably too late to do that to U.S. farmers’ intentions for next spring, but South American farmers might become leery of keeping all their acres in production at the prices

expected for late 2015.

“You kept planting at $11 (per bushel for soybeans)? Let’s try $8,” said Westmoreland.

Fellow Informa analyst Nick Hoyt said convincing farmers to cut production won’t be easy.

“The reality is that it’s really hard to

do,” said Hoyt.

“Once you’ve brought that land online … without something extreme, most people are going to try to plant again.”

U.S. corn yields have recovered from 2012’s drought-reduced levels to produce massive crops and fill storage systems. The 2015 corn crop will likely yield 166 bu. per acre, but some analysts are predicting more than 170.

That means ending stocks should be the highest in decades.

Farmers should expect average corn prices to be 25 percent lower for next year from a likely 2014-15 aver-

age of $4.50 per bu.

“We actually believe we’ll average below $3.50,” said Hoyt.

Westmoreland said the end of ethanol expansion and the weakening interest of outside money in agricultural commodities has set up an unpromising period for anything bullish to happen.

However, the biggest cause of the likely prolonged weakness ahead is the big crops farmers have produced and the big stocks left over at the end of this and probably coming years.

This year’s large U.S. soybean crop “completes the hat-trick (of stocks

replenishment) and we wind up with our major crops at least in pretty good shape from a stocks situation as we come to the end of the ’14-’15 seasons unless there is a severe accident someplace,” said Westmoreland.

Crops such as durum and high protein spring wheat might show better upside potential, he acknowledged, but they will be side shows to a generally glum period.

“Several factors have come to bear at once,” said Westmoreland.

“Everything is leading towards sort of the negative.” ed.white@producer.com

OILSEEDS | CHINA

China’s soybean oil glut slows canola exports Markets nervous | The government has ‘millions and millions of tonnes of rapeseed oil in tanks,’ says grain trader

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Expect lacklustre canola sales to China next year, says a grain trader.

Canola crush margins are terrible in China, and there isn’t much prospect of improvement.

“We haven’t seen demand for months,” said Glen Pownall, managing director of Peter Cremer Canada.

“I’ve been trading canola for a long, long time and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a situation where we’ve gone this long without trading a cargo to China.”

By his calculation, Chinese crushers are losing $26 for every tonne of canola they process.

The problem is a glut of vegetable oil on the market and in government hands because of the huge amount of

soybean processing that is occurring.

The Chinese have an insatiable demand for soybean meal to feed the country’s 725 million hogs, but their vegetable oil demand has been flat.

That is resulting in excess soybean oil supply, which is depressing prices for all vegetable oil in that market.

Canola crushing margins depend highly on the oil component whereas soybeans depend more on the

meal. Pownall estimates soybean crushers are making $30 for every tonne processed, which is phenomenal.

China’s canola crushing conundrum has reduced the country’s appetite for Canadian canola. Pownall expects Canada will ship three million tonnes to China this year, which is down from last year.

Canola exports to China total 1.078

million tonnes in the first three months of the crop year, according to Canadian Grain Commission statistics. Markets are also nervous about the Chinese government’s growing stockpile of rapeseed oil.

PULSES | WEATHER

Poor harvest in India sends yellow peas up Summer crop 26 percent below target | The country is expected to import two million tonnes more pulses than last year TIGHT LENTIL STOCKS

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Yellow pea prices should rise next year because of pulse production problems in India, says an analyst.

“I think we’re going to $8 (per bushel) on yellow peas,” Marlene Boersch, managing partner of Mercantile Consulting Venture, told AgriTrend’s 2014 Farm Forum Event.

She believes peas are undervalued, but lentils are about where they should be and should remain near today’s levels for the rest of the crop year.

Some growers say they have already seen $8 bids for yellow peas.

They can thank India.

Boersch said the country will likely import 6.15 million tonnes of pulses in 2014-15, up from 3.93 million tonnes the previous year, which is why she acknowledged her $8 forecast might be conservative.

India’s kharif (summer) crop produced 5.2 million tonnes of pulses, 26 percent below the government target.

The government hopes for 12.5 million tonnes of production out of the rabi (winter) crop.

“They will fall short of that,” she said.

India’s overall monsoon precipitation was 12 percent below the longterm average. The deficit is as high as 30 percent in the northwest, where most of the rabi pulses are grown.

Chickpea planting is 15 percent behind the normal pace.

Boersch forecasts 16.35 million tonnes of combined kharif and rabi production, which is well below the government’s target of 19.5 million tonnes.

She believes India will need to import an additional 2.12 million tonnes of pulses on top of its usual four million tonnes.

“That’s why we’re thinking they will come for a second tranche of buying after Christmas,” said Boersch.

She also anticipates reduced com-

» CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE when they’re going to auction this off and put pressure on the market,” Pownall told Agri-Trend’s 2014 Farm Forum Event.

He expects the same lacklustre buying next year, so he is not bullish on canola because China is Canada’s largest customer.

Another bearish factor is the record-smashing U.S. soybean crop and what looks to be a great South American crop on the way.

There is good incentive for Brazilian farmers to plant soybeans. Brazil’s currency, the real, has depreciated by about 15 percent over the past few months, so US$10 per bushel soybean futures looks like $11.50 to the Brazilian farmer.

“He’s doing just fine and he’s going to continue to seed soybeans and market them,” said Pownall.

Conditions are optimal in South America with good soil moisture and no oppressive heat in the forecast.

“Things are looking stellar, but it’s very early in the growing season.

They are just completing their plant-

Peas have sold at a record pace.

Bulk exports are 1.5 times what they were the same time last year. Boersch sees a paltry 215,000 tonnes of carryout and a six percent stocks-to-use ratio.

ing,” he said.

Farmers in Argentina have been hording last year’s soybeans because their currency is nearly worthless.

Pownall thinks yields could be down in that country as farmers avoid applying costly inputs.

Still, he anticipates a big South American soybean crop, which will put downward pressure on the entire oilseed complex.

One positive factor for canola is that Pownall feels the oilseed market will switch to an oil-driven market in 2015 after two years of being in a meal-driven market.

That is due to an oversupply of soybeans, an anticipated reduction in palm oil production and the expected reinstatement of the $1 per gallon U.S. biodiesel tax credit.

Another reason to be bullish about vegetable oil prices is the decline in sunflower production.

Sunflower oil usually sells at a big premium to soybean oil, but last year it was the second cheapest oil next to palm oil due to a huge jump in production. That put a cap on soybean oil prices, preventing any kind of rally

because the government has huge stockpiles of the crop that it bought at high prices. It is importing alternatives such as barley, sorghum, distiller’s grain and cassava.

Peas would be another cheap alternative source of protein.

“If they were ever to (use peas for feed), hold onto your seats because the volumes are right away very big,” said Boersch.

She expects green peas to continue trading in the $8 to $9 per bushel range.

Lentil demand has been excellent.

Bulk exports are twice what they were this time last year.

Australia had a disappointing crop.

Boersch estimates they will have 250,000 tonnes for export, down from 350,000 tonnes a couple of years ago.

They will run out of supplies by summer. The United States should have

throughout the year.

This year the sunflower oil premium is back because of production problems in Russia, which will result in improved demand for soybean and canola oil.

An oil driven market would support canola prices because of the crop’s high 44 percent oil content. That will help offset the bearish factor of China’s terrible crush margins.

“I’m predicting a range trade on canola between $400 and $450 (per tonne) this year,” said Pownall.

Growers should take advantage of any $10 per bu. prices they are offered.

Another bit of good news is that he believes the official Chinese government rapeseed production estimate is “completely fictitious.”

about 120,000 tonnes of lentils for export, down more than a 50 percent from the previous year.

“That’s why we have seen such good green lentil prices,” she said.

Boersch sees 79,000 tonnes of lentil carryout and a friendly four percent stocks-to-use ratio.

Prices for top quality lentils could creep a little higher, but there could be pressure on poorer quality crop, with only 37 percent of the crop grading No. 2 or better.

“If they really drop the bids on the lower grades, I would be a little bit patient,” she told growers.

India has been buying a lot of poor quality Canadian lentils, which has been a godsend.

However, Boersch warned growers not to wait too long to book sales because pea and lentil acres could increase next year, which could put a

The government pays Chinese growers $200 per tonne more than the international price for the product.

This year the government bought 3.5 million tonnes of the crop.

“To me, their production couldn’t have been more than 3.5 million tonnes because why would any farmer in the world not take advantage of a price $200 over the international price?” said Pownall.

BULLISH 2015 OUTLOOK FOR HOGS

Oilseed price support may weaken

MARKET WATCH

D’ARCE McMILLAN

T

here could be a lot of factors pushing oilseed markets in different directions in the months leading to spring seeding next year.

Often crop prices rally in late winter during the annual battle for acres, in which the market tries to give farmers the signals needed to ensure adequate production of the various grains and oilseeds.

However, the prospect of a record large South American harvest and falling crude oil prices could put grain prices under pressure in February and March.

Although down significantly from recent years, prices have been surprisingly well supported in the fourth quarter of this year, considering the large crops produced in the Northern Hemisphere.

An example came in recent days as canola futures showed surprising resilience, shaking off the negative effects of a larger crop forecast and falling crude oil prices.

Statistics Canada last week pegged

the crop at 15.555 million tonnes, up about 1.5 million tonnes from the September forecast and 500,000 to a million tonnes more than analysts’ expectations.

Initially futures fell but by Dec. 8 had bounced back to the pre-report trading level.

They were supported by solid soybean futures and disciplined farmer selling here and in the United States.

U.S. soybean values are supported above US$10 a bushel by record export sales. The United States has already sold 85 percent of what the U.S. Department of Agriculture expects will be sold. The strong exports and domestic consumption should trim the burdensome soybean carryout forecast.

However, oilseed prices could face headwinds in the new year.

The transportation problems in the U.S. that contributed to the soymeal shortage that lifted soybean prices this fall are getting resolved.

Another threat is the South American soybean crop.

Seeding is winding up and early growing conditions are good.

Dry weather in early October in Brazil temporarily stalled seeding progress and that will push back harvest of early seeded beans until midFebruary.

However, new Brazilian soybeans will put downward pressure on the market once they become available.

As well, European rapeseed grow-

ers are not doing much to help lift oilseed prices.

The first forecast of the European Union’s 2015 rapeseed crop shows reduced production expectation.

However, Strategie Grains said the 10 percent decline to 21.6 million tonnes would still represent the second largest rapeseed crop ever grown in the bloc.

Looking ahead to the 2015 U.S. seeding season, American farmers might look at corn prices that barely cover their costs of production and decide to plant more soybeans, which require fewer costly inputs.

Also, crude oil prices are expected to continue to fall. That could reduce the amount of vegetable oil used in biodiesel and pressure vegetable oil prices lower.

Investment bank Morgan Stanley said this week crude could fall as low as $43 a barrel. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries recently voted to maintain production despite growing surplus of global oil stocks.

The peak oversupply and greatest downward price pressure would likely occur in the second quarter of 2015, Morgan Stanley said.

While weaker crude oil will weigh on oilseeds, the effect will likely be partly offset if the falling energy prices also weaken the Canadian dollar, as expected.

Good times will keep rolling for beef sector longer than pork Analyst says pork profits could shrink significant in 2016 as the U.S. herd recovers from PED

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

CALGARY — Cow-calf operators probably have five more years of good profits to enjoy, says Informa Economics’ Rick Andersen.

However, hog farmers’ good times will likely end far sooner.

“It’s almost impossible to look today at a scenario where (hog) producers lose money for 2015,” Andersen told Informa’s Canadian Agriculture and Food Outlook conference Dec. 5.

“We’ve got another year of pretty darned good profitability coming.”

However, it’s possible that farmers will have rebuilt their diseasereduced herds enough by 2016 to knock prices back down.

“We know the pork industry will react to that profitability (with increased production) if they can.”

It’s an even better outlook for beef producers.

Chicken producers can boost flock sizes in months and hog producers can do it in a year or two, but beef herd expansion is slow and has particular problems in North America right now, Andersen said.

The continent’s shrinking cow herd has been met with surging prices, but fewer animals are being slaughtered as farmers hold onto heifers to expand the herd.

“That just shrinks that supply up that much more and keeps some very strong upward pressure on price,” said Andersen.

Hamburger supplies are becoming especially tight as farmers hold onto older cows and ones they might normally ship.

It means that while North American beef cow numbers might begin growing again next year, beef supplies will likely be lower, and “we’ll probably see new record highs on cattle in 2015.”

Expensive feeder cattle prices won’t be good for cattle feedlots, but they should be OK as long as corn is $2.50 to $4 per bushel.

Cow-calf producers should stay profitable at least until 2020 as long as

crop prices stay low, even if cattle prices drop back from the present run of record highs.

“These markets will settle back down,” said Andersen.

“We’re not going to stay at the extreme pricing that we’ve seen this year in either cattle, beef or pork.”

The strength of beef prices will help pork prices stay high, even as farmers begin expanding herds.

“We can handle three, four, five percent more pork,” said Andersen.

That pork will have to come from an even bigger percentage increase in market hogs because much of this year’s pork has come from pigs fed to extremely big weights.

That has been a product of farmers trying to maximize the value they get out of each pig they ship and of farmers having extra room in barns because of porcine epidemic diarrhea deaths.

As PED wanes, which is a likely development, more pigs will be moving toward market weight in every barn and farmers won’t be able to hang on to pigs as long as they want. As a result, average weights will likely drop, producing less pork per pig.

T h e s e f a c t o r s m a k e In f o r m a more bullish for 2015 lean hog futures prices than the market is today, with the firm expecting $95$107 per hundredweight in the spring and summer market compared to present futures values of $86-$93.

Informa’s expectations of at least a couple of years of $3.50 per bu. corn prices and $8.50 per bu. soybeans underlie the profit expectations.

The profits might become squeezed if a drought somewhere sent crop prices sharply higher.

“We don’t want seven or eight dollar corn again, or that could certainly create problems,” Andersen said from the perspective of a livestock producer.

“We don’t need $15 soybeans and $400-$500 soybean meal.” ed.white@producer.com

CANFAX REPORT

Argentina looks to clamp down on soy hoarding

NEW RECORD FOR STEERS

Credit restricted | Government instructs bank to stop financing farmers who aren’t selling crops BU E N O S A I R E S ( R e u t e r s ) — Argentina’s state bank has moved to bolster the country’s reserves by reducing credit to soy farmers who are holding onto an estimated eight million tonnes of last year’s beans as a hedge against one of the world’s highest inflation rates.

Government-controlled Banco Nacion has told its branches in the Pampas farm belt to stop financing growers who are denting tax revenue by hoarding soybeans.

Argentina is the No. 3 exporter of beans and the top supplier soymeal feed, which is used to fatten up cattle and other livestock around the world.

If the credit crackdown works and farmers are forced to sell, there will be an increase in Argentine supply as the year ends. More soybean selling would let the government collect more of the 35 percent tax that it puts on exports.

The country’s main farm group says that of the 12.9 million tonnes of soybeans being held back from the market, eight million will be swapped for seeds, fertilizers and other inputs.

With inflation estimated at about 40 percent, soybeans have replaced the

local peso as a unit of value.

“It’s only logical that growers hold on to crops in a scenario of high inflati on ,” sa i d e c o n o m i s t Er n e s t o Ambrosetti of the Argentine Rural Society, which represents the country’s biggest farms.

“The government’s desperation for foreign exchange is growing, but the amount of soybeans sold by farmers is the same now as it was at this point last year,” he said.

Banco Nacion finances about 40 percent of Argentina’s agricultural production, according to private estimates, amounting to $300 million in credits to soy growers.

“Tell clients that financing from the bank will only be made available to those farms that show they are not holding onto soybeans,” said an internal Banco Nacion memo provided to Reuters by a farm industry source who requested anonymity.

The credit crackdown comes at a time of declining investment in Latin America’s No. 3 economy because of government policies such as currency and trade controls, as well as fluctuating corn and wheat export limits that make crop planning difficult.

WP LIVESTOCK REPORT HOGS LOWER U.S. cash hog prices drifted lower because supply was ample relative to the light demand.

Pork prices fell, and carcass weights increased.

Iowa-southern Minnesota hogs delivered were US$64 per hundredweight Dec. 5, down from $65 Nov. 28.

U.S. hogs averaged $84.54 on a carcass basis Dec. 5, down slightly from $85.35 Nov.28.

The U.S. pork cutout dropped to $92.69 per cwt. Dec. 5, down from $93.14 Nov. 28.

The estimated U.S. weekly slaughter for the week to Dec. 6 was 2.236 million, up from 1.991 million the previous week, which included U.S. Thanksgiving.

Slaughter was 2.317 million last year at the same time.

FED BISON UNCHANGED, LIVE MARKET STRONG The Canadian Bison Association said Grade A bulls in the desirable weight range were as high as C$4.55 per lb. hot hanging weight.

Grade A heifers sold up to $4.35.

Animals outside the desirable buyer specifications may be discounted.

At Kramer Auction, 320 head sold Dec. 3 with 2014 bull calves 300-400 lb. averaging $3.43 per lb. and 400475 lb. averaging $3.26 per lb.

Yearling bulls 800-900 lb. averaged $2.78, and 700-800 lb. averaged $2.66.

Heifers born this year weighing 375-470 lb. averaged $2.92, and those weighing 300-375 lb. averaged $2.83.

Heifers born in 2013 weighing 640750 lb. averaged $2.37, and 580-640 lb. averaged $2.31.

The Canfax average weighted steer cash price rose to a new record high of $182.28 per hundredweight, up $1.90.

That was despite a sharply lower U.S. cash market, where trade developed at U.S. $166-$168 per cwt. in Kansas and Nebraska, down as much as $6 from the previous week.

Beef movement over the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday was disappointing and wholesale beef prices fell, pushing packer margins further into the red.

The basis level improved in Canada, and producers have the upper hand over packers.

American buyers again added competition in the Canadian market.

Movement south was light, but U.S. buyers appeared to offer a slight premium Alberta packers appeared a bit more aggressive on groups of longer fed cattle.

Packers were buying to fill slaughter for the last week of December or the first week in January.

Alberta fed cash-to-futures basis closed at -$7.40, close to the average for this time of year and the strongest since the beginning of September.

Canadian fed export to the United States have exceed 10,000 head in four of the past five weeks.

The tail end of the summer-placed cattle are being marketed, and there appears to be a lag before yearling volume increases.

Market-ready supply is not large, but retailers have booked most of

their holiday beef needs and that should work against beef and cattle prices.

Processing margins are squeezed, and packers may have to slow the kill.

Look for the market to trade at Cdn $176-$181 for the rest of the year.

COWS WELL SUPPORTED Good demand meant cows were steady to $1 per cwt. higher.

D1, D2 cows ranged $120-$138 to average $127 per cwt., and D3 cows ranged $105-$121 to average $112.42.

Rail bids were $243-$248 per cwt. delivered.

Butcher bulls rallied $2.50 to average $140.38.

Weekly western Canadian non-fed slaughter to Nov. 29 surged 20 percent to 11,350 head.

Weekly exports to Nov. 22 fell 11 percent to 8,175.

Volumes should continue strong this week, but prices should be steady.

FEEDERS RISE A tighter offering pushed feeder prices higher.

The Alberta auction volume fell 33 percent to 36,437 head.

Feeder steers 400-800 pounds were steady to $3 per cwt. higher, while

Beaver Hill Auction in Tofield, Alta., reported 623 sheep and 47 goats sold Dec. 1.

Wool lambs lighter than 54 lb. were $200-$249 per cwt., 55-69 lb. were $221-$248, 70-85 lb. were $222-$247, 86-105 lb. were $196-$227 and 106 lb. and heavier were $176-$200.

CRAIG’S VIEW

COMMODITY PRICING | TRANSPARENCY

Grain industry players require information to be efficient

W

estern Canadian farmers need market and price transparency to succeed in an open grain market.

An increasing number of farmers have spent the money to hire marketing advisers and subscribe to market newsletters since prime minister Stephen Harper’s government ended CWB’s marketing monopoly.

However, there are data gaps that make it difficult even for professionals to analyze and understand the Canadian grain market.

Farmer frustration over the issue is illustrated by a resolution at a Keystone Agricultural Producers meeting in Manitoba this fall to lobby the federal and provincial governments for more transparent grain price reporting.

As one KAP member noted, a clear picture of grain cash prices is hard to get. Some companies publicly post their basis and cash bids online. Others reserve that information for clients who have an account. Farmers can spend a lot of time searching the web and calling around to elevators to determine which company is offering the best prices.

The discussion at the KAP meeting noted that the U.S. Department of Agriculture collects cash prices in some states from elevators that voluntarily participate and publishes regional price reports, providing a helpful benchmark.

A similar system in Canada would be welcome. Government could run it or the industry itself could take the initiative, perhaps through the Western Grain Elevator Association.

Companies now unwilling to publish prices at a particular station should be willing to contribute data for regional price benchmarks or ranges.

However, much more information should be collected and made public on a timely basis to help illuminate the market, identify problems and give farmers the ability to make smart marketing plans.

The Canadian federal government should

emulate the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s role in collecting and publishing data on grain exports.

In the United States, grain companies must report the volume of every major grain export sale. The USDA maintains a tally of these sales and also the volume that is actually shipped. It reports the data weekly.

This allows traders, analysts and farmers to determine if the USDA’s export target will be met. Prices will likely weaken if sales are disappointing and rise if they are running ahead of expectations. Farmers can use this knowledge to better time their sales to maximize revenue.

In Canada, the export data provided by the Canadian Grain Commission and Statistics Canada cover only grain shipped and not the amount already sold for future shipment.

Also, in the case of Statistics Canada, the data is about two months old when it is published, which greatly reduces its value.

The USDA also publishes daily port grain export bid, while Agriculture Canada publishes port prices weekly.

Producers, the grain industry and government should work together to develop a list of data sets on prices, exports, domestic use and movement, which could be produced in an efficient and timely manner and made public.

Greater information empowers everyone in the marketplace and makes it function more efficiently.

Any member of the grain industry that balks at this should recognize the cautionary tale provided by the railways, whose service failures and lack of information have led to farmer anger that triggered new government regulation.

Voluntary co-operation can pre-empt bureaucratic intervention.

TRADE ISSUES | BRIAN MULRONEY’S VIEW

Former PM packs a punch on tariffs, COOL, inter-provincial trade CAPITAL LETTERS

KELSEY JOHNSON

H

e’s no longer prime minister, but Brian Mulroney hasn’t forgotten the art of politics.

In a Dec. 3 speech to farmers, industry officials and other high profile agricultural folks at the Grow Canada conference in Ottawa, Canada’s 18th prime minister laid down a speech that would leave the room buzzing for hours.

Mulroney, now 75, had been invited to give the conference’s keynote address. The subject was international trade. It’s an area Mulroney knows well, having been in office during the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement negotiations

in the 1980s, which would later morph into today’s North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) signed in 1994.

In a whirlwind 45-minute speech, Mulroney tackled such issues as the stalled Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP), Canada’s ongoing spat with the U.S. over country-oforigin labelling, supply management and provincial-federal politics.

Agriculture, he admitted, has always been one of the most protected industries. Yet, with increasing globalization and a burgeoning trade agenda, Mulroney warned, the conversation needs to change. Fast.

He said supply management for dairy and poultry has to go, although the phase-out should be “careful, innovative and generous.” His comments would be met with cautious applause, prompting him to joke, “I can tell there are not many Quebecers in the room.”

However, convincing politicians to join the conversation will be no easy feat, Mulroney conceded.

“I recognize the political allergies

(President Obama) doesn’t appear to be very good at remembering how important Canada is to him and his country.

BRIAN MULRONEY FORMER PRIME MINISTER

on the issue in Canada, especially in an election, but cannot help but think we tend to ignore both the benefits for Canadians and the enormous export potential that could be derived if we were to unshackle these sectors in a sensible manner,” he said.

Ending supply management isn’t the only conversation Canadian politicians should be having, Mulroney said. There is also an urgent need for a meeting between the country’s 10 premiers and the prime minister on interprovincial trade and infrastructure. Interprovincial trade is a longstanding issue that should be grabbed “by the scruff of the neck”

and fixed immediately, Mulroney said, while a similar chat should be held about the country’s crumbling infrastructure system.

For most political speakers, the suggestion that Canada should get rid of its longstanding supply management system and improve communication across various political channels on two major issues would be enough of a conversation starter.

Not for Mulroney, who also used his address to tackle this country’s wavering friendship with the U.S. He said the Americans’ continued defense of COOL goes against the very “spirit” of NAFTA, not to mention international trade rules.

The World Trade Organization has been exceptionally clear on this issue, he said, ruling against the policy three times thus far. As well, the impact on North America’s integrated livestock industry is evident.

However, his harshest criticism was directed at U.S. president Barack Obama and his handling of the TPP. The American leader’s inability to secure fast-track authority for the

agreement was an insult to CanadaU.S. relations, he said. “(President Obama) doesn’t appear to be very good at remembering how important Canada is to him and his country. We’re the best neighbours anyone could ever have and he shouldn’t forget it,” Mulroney said, which triggered broad applause.

Fast-track authority allows Congress to put the final trade agreement to a simple yes-no vote, with no chance for amendments. The legislation is opposed by several high profile Democrats who argue the move is undemocratic.

Mulroney said the lack of such authority in the TPP agreement is a “vital omission.” A trade deal cannot be reached without it.

“We could not have achieved the Canada-United States trade agreement if president (Ronald) Reagan hadn’t secured fast-tracked authority from the United States Senate,” Mulroney said. “You can’t do it.”

GIFT GIVING | DILEMMA

Food activists, farmers join forces

Ideas fall flat in search for perfect gift

BY JEFFREY CARTER

TORONTO — Farmers and food activists trod what might be described as a strip of common ground at the recent Festival of Dangerous Ideas.

Speakers at a Nov. 15 event included grass-fed beef producer Harry Stoddart, biodynamic farmer Martin Boettcher, honey producers Susan Chan and Jim Coneybeare, John Bennett of the Sierra Club of Canada and guerrilla gardener Jacob KeareyMoreland.

Kearey-Moreland is known for having been part of an unsuccessful effort to establish a free community garden on Ontario’s legislative grounds. He also helped establish seed exchange programs in public libraries in Ontario.

“Seeds are living things, our source of life,” he said.

“Without them none of us would be here. I think the problem is that seeds are no longer viewed as being sacred in our society.”

He sees food production as a pillar of the economy and believes it’s time to develop systems free from pesticides and genetic modification. One way to support this effort is by reintroducing basic survival skills, such as gardening, to urban settings, he said.

Kearney-Moreland also hopes to affect change politically. He’s working toward a coalition of Liberal, NDP and Green party supporters to unseat the current Conservative MP in Simcoe North.

Stoddart is also pushing for food system change. He supports wider

He said much of the landscape in southern Ontario would be dominated by hardwood forest and savannah, which are incredibly rich ecosystems, if nature were to be left to her own devices. The challenge for farmers is to harness this natural

potential to grow food.

That’s the type of approach Boettcher is pursuing on his family’s mixed farming operation. He said humankind should be viewed as being part of the planet rather than apart from it.

“If we are not careful, the adjustments our home makes will exclude man from the picture.”

Boettcher said many of the tools of

conventional agriculture run counter to that objective.

“I’m thinking of starting a soil humane society and taking away the pesticides from all my neighbours,” he said.

FAMILY FARMS | DYNAMICS

Human issues important to farm’s success HURSH ON AG

KEVIN HURSH

W

e often fail to discuss or even acknowledge the human issues affecting our farms.

Meet another farmer for the first time or meet a farming acquaintance you haven’t seen in a long time, and the talk usually revolves around economic concerns.

Crop yields, grain quality, growing season weather challenges, grain prices and grain movement are all discussed in depth wherever grain farmers gather.

Sometimes this leads to discussions about land prices and cash rents. The bigger economic picture can also play into the conversation.

How long will interest rates stay low? Are some producers taking on too much debt?

What will declining oil prices mean

for the rest of the commodity complex? What about the Canadian dollar?

While all of these are important, there’s a whole range of human issues that may be too sensitive or personal to discuss. They may be top of mind or they may be repressed.

Either way, they can be just as critical to the farm’s economic success.

And they are even more important to personal happiness and satisfaction.

Yes, we’ll sometimes openly discuss the problem of finding good employees, but family dynamics are seldom broached.

On family farms, the management and most of the labour usually comes from family members. Getting along and pulling in the same direction is always a work in progress. Harmonious families have a much better chance of economic and personal success no matter what happens with grain yields and prices.

Family discord can take many forms. Maybe the husband who is over 60 is still eager to work long hours and expand the operation, but the wife thinks it’s time to ease into retirement.

Two brothers that have long farmed together may find that they have developed different goals and aspirations. Maybe one or both have a son or daughter becoming involved in the operation and the personal dynamics have changed.

A multi-generational extended family that farms together can be a powerful force. It can also be a nightmare if internal squabbles can’t be controlled. A death or divorce can create even more problems.

Management functions tend to evolve over time on family operations. Written job descriptions and rule books are rare.

Who makes grain marketing decisions and are those choices open for discussion?

Who makes the asset purchasing decisions and how much can be bought as a unilateral decision?

How do you decide on the crop mix and the level of inputs? Do different family members own or control different parcels of land and therefore have some decision-making autonomy? If so, how does everything fit into the overall plan?

Succession issues can tear farms and families apart. The older genera-

tion is often reluctant to give up control while the younger generation presses for a greater role in management decisions.

Meanwhile, non-farming children can feel alienated.

When big corporate farms fail, it’s often seen as an endorsement of the family farm approach. However, there are lessons family operations can take from the corporate world regarding structure, process, goals and objectives.

Families will always have their internal issues, but a more businesslike approach to management and succession can help reduce friction.

It all starts with communication.

Even within families, it’s easier to talk about the economic issues rather than personal feelings and aspirations, but those discussions need to happen.

Maybe the upcoming holiday season is the time to call a family meeting to talk about what’s going well, what needs to change and how the future should unfold.

en are often told by our wives to buy them gifts that show we are thinking about them.

For some of us, that isn’t so easy.

Back in the day, my wife used to tell me about her childhood visits to her grandmother’s farm in Cambridge, Ont., during which she would have to use an outhouse. She spoke of these times with such nostalgia that when I saw a picture book — my wife took photography in college — I thought, “what a perfect mix.” Outhouses of the East must have ended up in one because I haven’t seen it since its appearance under the tree.

My gifts have been hit and miss over the years. A few Christmases back I settled on perfume. I stepped into Victoria’s Secret with my then 20-year-old daughter in search of something that would make my wife feel young and restless.

While there, I heard a Christmas song emanating from speakers above. I wanted to know what it was, so I took out my cellphone and started my Shazam app. But there was too much ambient noise, so I held the phone up higher. And there I was in the Statue of Liberty position in the middle of a lingerie store.

Alas, such an innocent pursuit didn’t look that way. A store worker, who looked maybe 15 (I’m sure she was older), approached and said disapprovingly, “sir, you can’t take pictures in Victoria’s Secret.”

And thus my quest for a scent left me looking to a kid like I was shooting pictures of sexy mannequins. I looked for help from my daughter, but she would have none of it.

“No!” I pleaded. “I’m Shazaming.”

That I sounded like a television anime character was lost on me, but likely not on the young employee. She held up her hands and flicked her fingers at me: “Whatever, sir. No pictures.”

So with my wife still in Ontario preparing our house contents for the move to Saskatoon, I thought I’d try a western theme. I perused the goods at Canadian Western Agribition. Happening across what I thought would be a cute gift, I texted my wife a photo of a pink cowboy hat.

She came back with … don’t.

So now the race is on. I still want to go western, as I know she is looking forward to the move here. And of course, I’m taking suggestions. brian.macleod@producer.com

Just read a caption under a photo on page 43 of The Western Producer, Nov. 20, “Soldiers look on as bags of confiscated quinoa are incinerated in the Bolivian town of Guaqui, bordering Peru. About 19 tonnes of quinoa smuggled from Peru were confiscated

by Bolivia’s customs officials and incinerated recently.”

Quinoa — grain crop grown for edible seeds, high in protein, lacks gluten. So why, if it was in Bolivia illegally, was it not given/sold to the people instead of being incinerated. If it was not food grade then could it not have been used as animal fodder? I am so sick of hearing about people starving and could we all give, give and give some more, when there is this blatant destruction of food.

I do not know how many bushels the 19 tonnes of quinoa works out to but believe quite a few people could have been fed. So the next time someone is standing with their hand outstretched for a donation, make sure you know who is going to get it. Perhaps just look down the street from you and see someone in need there.

INTERNATIONAL DEAL | DETAILS

Canada, South Korea ratify free trade agreement

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Canadian cattle and pork producers received an early Christmas present with the ratification of the CanadaSouth Korea Free Trade Agreement.

The Dec. 3 ratification means Korean tariffs on Canadian beef and pork will start to reduce Jan. 1, 2015, and once again be competitive against Canadian and Australian exporters.

The agreement means the 40 percent Korean tariff on fresh and frozen beef will be eliminated in 15 equal steps over 15 years. It will be reduced by 2.6 percent a year.

The 18 percent tariff on offal will be

eliminated in 11 equal steps over 11 years.

“This is very important,” said Canadian Cattlemen’s Association president Dave Solverson.

Without the agreement, Canadian exporters would have been too far behind American and Australian exporters, who are already in the market.

The U.S. signed a free trade agreement with Korea in 2012, and tariffs have already started to drop. Australia negotiated a free trade agreement in 2013, which will come into effect Jan. 1.

Korea was Canada’s fourth largest beef market worth $40 million before BSE closed the borders in 2003. It was

a critical market for non-traditional North American cuts of meat, including ribs.

“It was a way to add value to the carcass,” said Solverson.

Canadian Pork Council chair JeanGuy Vincent is also looking to rebuild markets in Korea.

“The absence of an FTA with Korea was causing substantial and growing prejudice to the Canadian pork industry due to tariff rate disadvantages arising from all our key competitors,” Vincent said in a news release.

Korea has a 22.5 percent tariff on chilled pork and a 25 percent tariff on frozen pork.

The U.S. already has access to

Korean markets. An American study showed U.S. pork producers gained a $10 per hog benefit because of their country’s trade agreement with Korea.

Korea is a large importer of highvalue cuts of meat.

Gary Stordy, public relations manager with Canadian Pork Council, said the agreement would allow the industry to regain an equal footing with its competitors in Korea. The Asian country has previously been the sector’s third or fourth most important export market.

In 2011 Canadian pork exports to Korea were worth $223 million to Korea in 2011, $129 million in 2012 and $76 million in 2013.

Stordy said the steady reduction in sales is directly related to the tariffs imposed on Canadian pork compared to other countries.

The ratification of the free trade agreement means Canadian exporters can once again open talks with Korean customers.

“They can once again start to be competitive,” said Stordy.

The free trade agreement was tabled in Parliament in June, and the final text of the agreement was signed in September.

The agreement will also eliminate a five percent tariff on canola seed and remove tariffs on refined canola oil and crude oil within three to seven years. Imports of canola seed and oil to South Korea are worth $60 to $90 million annually.

Under the new agreement, those export numbers could grow substantially, said Rick White, eco of Canadian Canola Growers Association. mary.macarthur@producer.com

CATTLE | BRANDING

Sask. increases inspection fees, dealer licences

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Brand inspection fees in Saskatchewan are going up Jan. 2.

Inspection costs will rise 75 cents per head to $2.75, while registering or renewing a brand will increase to $50 from $25 for a four-year registration and to $600 from $200 for lifetime registration.

Livestock dealer licences are doubling to $200 from $100.

Livestock Services Corp. of Sask., the non-profit corporation that took over brand inspection from the province, said the increases are necessary to reflect the true cost of providing the services.

“As an industry operated organization, LSS manages on a cost recovery basis,” said president Harold Martens.

LSS is owned and operated by the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association, the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association, the Saskatchewan Cattle Feeders Association, the Saskatchewan Horse Federation and Livestock Marketers of Saskatchewan.

The board decided to increase the fees after consulting with the five organizations.

SCA chair Paula Larson said today’s cattle prices make ownership identification more important than ever.

“But today’s prices also make this increase an acceptable cost of doing business,” she said.

SSGA president Doug Gillespie said the recent recovery of stolen cattle indicates the importance of brand inspection.

“Some might think that cattle theft is a thing of the wild west,” he said.

“But just recently the LSS has proven how important it is to have these services offered in Saskatchewan.

Cattle are a rancher’s biggest asset, and it is important that there is the ability to prove ownership to prevent theft.”

PSYCHOLOGY | REASONING

People vulnerable to bad information about food Baloney detection kit | Psychology professor urges skepticism, but says human minds can be easily tricked

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

MEDICINE HAT, Alta. — A farmer at the Dec. 2-3 Farming Smarter conference wondered aloud about when the public, inundated with conflicting information about food, might simply begin to ignore it all.

Keynote speaker Michael Shermer, founding publisher of Skeptic magazine and executive director of the Skeptics Society, had no answer.

There may not be one.

However, Shermer did say people

believe things, some of them odd, because of how the human brain is wired.

It’s why some people can imagine there’s an image of the Virgin Mary on a grilled cheese sandwich and why others think genetically modified food might kill them.

“The problem isn’t that people believe weird things because they’re uneducated or they’re not smart.

That’s not the problem at all,” said Shermer.

“It has something to do with how our minds work.”

It’s easy to be taken down a path which you don’t want to go.

MICHAEL SHERMER SKEPTIC SOCIETY

Two primary thinking patterns are at the core of human beliefs: believing a pattern is real when it’s not, and not believing a pattern when it is real.

Is that infrequent rustling in the

bushes a bear? Or can that rustling be ignored as random?

The human default is to believe patterns are real. So, people protect themselves in case there is a bear in the bushes. It costs little to believe it and the alternative could be dangerous.

This is essentially the precautionary principle at its simplest.

As well, Shermer said people tend to believe what they are told to expect.

“It’s easy to be taken down a path which you don’t want to go.”

Given these tendencies, Shermer

Pulse Raising.

said it’s not surprising that food myths gain traction.

Diet and the effects of specific foods are hard to study because of the variables, including people’s tendency to imagine things or forget what they ate or how much or even when.

As a result, scientific data is lacking.

Fad diets are suspect for that reason and because people tend to remember the things that reinforce an existing view or that bolster what they want to believe.

The paleo diet, which is designed to replicate the wild plant and animal diet of paleolithic man, is a case in point, said Shermer.

It has no scientific basis and breaks down when considering that people have been eating genetically modified food for 10,000 years — foods that have evolved through natural selection and development.

“Everybody was lactose intolerant 10,000 years ago,” said Shermer, criticizing the diet’s elimination of dairy products.

Man developed the needed enzymes to process lactose over time as animal agriculture developed.

Concern over GM food is likely related to the false belief that natural food is always better, said Shermer.

Every science fiction film has at its core the notion that science is taken too far, which he said is what people fear about GM food.

An anti-capitalist mentality also plays a role. Food was once the basis for communal sharing. The market elements that came later run contrary to this basis, causing distrust.

Science is the best tool for separating fact from fiction, said Shermer.

“Anecdotes are not data. They’re just stories.”

He urged his audience to employ skepticism, demand data when seeking proof and always employ a “baloney detection kit” when considering claims. barb.glen@producer.com

Michael Shermer, psychology professor, author and publisher of Skeptic magazine, illustrates two conflicting world views with these examples of how conservatives view liberals and how liberals view conservatives. He says people tend to seek out information that supports their existing views.

CFIA reviewing reportable diseases Due for an update | Ten of the 31 on the list have never been found in Canada

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

OTTAWA — The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is reassessing the list of animal diseases that it deems reportable, immediately notifiable and annually notifiable.

Dr. Penny Greenwood, national manager of domestic disease control for the CFIA, said the current list is due for an update.

“A lot of the things that we used to put the specific diseases on the reportable list have come and gone,” Greenwood told a recent meeting of the National Farmed Animal Health and Welfare Council.

“There’s no objective criteria that we have to say, ‘oh yes, this disease meets these criteria, therefore it should be a reportable disease,’ or ‘no, it doesn’t meet these criteria and therefore it shouldn’t be a reportable disease.’ So that’s a big issue.”

Lack of specific criteria could potentially delay federal response in the face of serious zoonotic diseases, which are those that can also affect people.

Animal diseases on the CFIA’s reportable list are those deemed important to either animal or human health or to the Canadian economy.

Anyone suspecting an animal to have one of the 31 diseases on the list must report it immediately to a CFIA veterinarian.

Ten of the 31 diseases on that list have never been found in Canada, but it does contain such things as BSE, brucellosis, chronic wasting disease, equine infectious anemia and scrapie.

The CFIA still lists anthrax on its reportable list, even though it stopped investigating anthrax cases last year and no longer funds vaccination or disposal of animals that die from it.

Rabies was similarly removed from direct CFIA intervention.

Greenwood said there are gaps and overlaps in jurisdictional responsibilities based on how a disease is listed.

“I think we have to drop the word reportable,” she said.

The World Organization for Animal Health is examining its defining criteria for reportability, as is the American Association for Animal Health, said Greenwood.

The CFIA has already done extensive work on developing a decision tree that will help officials determine how to define animal diseases and how to decide which jurisdiction should take the lead role if a disease is discovered.

Greenwood said the goal is to develop a more flexible response to animal disease because situations can change quickly.

The CFIA has 43 animal diseases on its list of those that are immediately notifiable, which means only labs need to report them if found. The diseases on this list are exotic to Canada so no control or eradication programs are in place.

Anaplasmosis, blue tongue and

West Nile virus are on this list.

The annually notifiable category includes diseases in Canada that are of concern to trading partners. Labs that find cases must report them annually to the CFIA. The current list of six involves diseases in fish and mollusks. barb.glen@producer.com

ANIMAL WELFARE | MARKETING

Welfare concerns aren’t isolated to fringe groups Farm practices | University of Guelph survey suggests concerns about livestock production are a mainstream issue

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

Canadians worried about the welfare of chickens, pigs and cows are not granola-crunching vegans who want to eradicate animal agriculture, says a University of Guelph economist.

“There’s no doubt, there is a group of the population that is hard core vegan,” Michael von Massow told the Dairy Farmers of Manitoba conference held in Winnipeg Dec. 3-5. “(But) it’s extremely dangerous to

say that is the only group out there talking about concerns around animal welfare.”

Livestock producers and industry representatives have frequently said only a fraction of Canadians are alarmed about livestock welfare and often characterize that group as extremists.

Von Massow and his Guelph colleagues conducted a public opinion survey of 2,000 Canadians last fall that debunked the notion that only a fraction of the population cares about animal welfare.

We can’t just say it’s the ‘granolas,’ let’s forget about them.

MICHAEL VON MASSOW ECONOMIST

To the researchers’ surprise, 50 percent of the respondents were concerned or had doubts about livestock production practices.

“It was a shock to me,” said von Mas-

sow,whospecializesinfoodvaluechains and consumer perceptions of food.

The survey also found that 25 percent of respondents said they focus primarily on price when they buy meat, eggs and dairy products, and another 25 percent were unconcerned about animal welfare.

Von Massow said the concerned group contains a higher proportion of women and young people than the other categories of consumers, but concerned consumers still eat meat.

“These people eat at least as much meat and drink at least as much milk

as the rest of our sample,” he said.

“We can’t just say it’s the ‘granolas,’ let’s forget about them. It isn’t the granolas, it isn’t.”

Von Massow also said it’s important to realize that most Canadians know almost nothing about livestock production. His survey found that only 16 percent of respondents knew that free run chickens don’t go outside, while only 33 percent knew dairy cows produce milk after calving.

He said people may not understand what they are worried about, but they have “niggling doubts” about livestock practices.

The Guelph survey also found that animal welfare claims can be a powerful marketing tool. Forty percent of respondents said commitments to enhanced livestock welfare would influence where they bought groceries and their choice of restaurant.

“That, ladies and gentleman, is why we’re seeing large retailers and large restaurant companies start to make commitments (on animal welfare),” von Massow said.

For instance, fast food chains have laid out plans to buy pork from farms that keep sows in open housed systems rather than gestation crates.

He said a Purdue University survey that looked at where people get information on animal welfare found that 56 percent of respondents had no source of information, 12 percent relied on the Humane Society of the United States and seven percent said their source was People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

David Wiens, chair of Dairy Farmers of Manitoba, said the void in reliable information creates an opportunity for the livestock industr y because many consumers want facts but don’t know where to go.

“Our message isn’t necessarily known widely by the public,” he said.

“We continue to strive to get our message out there, (but) as dairy farmers we can’t speak for everyone out there.”

Manitoba once had an organization dedicated to animal welfare and public outreach, but the Manitoba Farm Animal Council disbanded in 2010.

Shanyn Silinski, former executive director of the MFAC, said at the time that Manitoba livestock groups desperately needed a credible organization that focuses on animal welfare.

“To have that step away, where you have a united voice from all of the commodities working together … has a lot more impact than the cattle producers saying that the cattle producers are doing a good job.”

Von Massow agreed the livestock industry has an opportunity to connect with consumers, but the Purdue survey found that only two to three percent of people rely on producer associations for animal welfare facts.

More people, primarily women, rely on social media.

“Who do they go and believe?

Mommy bloggers. People who have no more information or knowledge than they do,” he said.

“But that’s who they’re looking to.”

Von Massow and his Guelph colleagues are repeating their animal welfare survey this fall. robert.arnason@producer.com

CANADIAN FLAX EXPORTS

FLAX | VARIETY CONTAMINATION

Industry praises flax growers for reducing Triffid from system

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Flax Council of Canada says growers have made tremendous strides in ridding the system of an unwanted genetically modified variety.

“We’ve come a long way,” said council president Don Kerr.

“We’re still seeing the odd positive test, but the numbers are reduced considerably.”

The industry has found 20 positive Triffid tests out of 2,000 harvest samples so far this year, which is down from 77 positives out of 3,300 samples in 2013.

It equates to a one percent rate of Triffid infection, compared to a high of 10 percent in 2009-10, when the CDC Triffid variety was discovered in Canadian flax shipments.

Triffid is an approved, registered variety that was never commercially released, but somehow made its way into the Canadian system.

The council is contacting growers whose samples tested positive to make sure they understand how the stewardship program works and why it is in place.

Kerr said growers have mainly done a good job of adhering to protocols and the farm stewardship program.

He estimated that 35 percent of this year’s 1.57 million flax acres were planted with Triffid-free reconstituted seed.

The reconstituted seed was made from original breeder seed from the University of Saskatchewan’s Crop Development Centre, which predated the Triffid crisis. It was multiplied in GM-free New Zealand.

“There wasn’t enough to distribute to all the producers (this) year,” said Kerr.

Growers who did not use reconstituted seed in 2014 are encouraged to do so next year. There will be more seed supply, but it is unlikely it will be adequate to cover all the anticipated acres.

Triffid contamination remains a threat as long as farmers continue using farm saved seed from previous generations of stock seed.

Producers are encouraged to continue testing harvested and planting seed for Triffid contamination. Federal government funding that paid half of the cost of those tests ran out Feb. 28.

“These (testing) protocols and this stewardship program at the farm level are going to continue, probably until such time as we see zero (positive results) right across the board,” said Kerr. “Then we’ll be able to say that we’ve got it beat.”

He said it is important to completely rid the system of Triffid because important markets such as Germany have zero tolerance for the GM crop.

Sales to Western Europe have rebounded from post-Triffid lows, but they are still a far cry from what they used to be.

The region bought 445,848 tonnes of Canadian flax in 2008, but that plummeted to as low as 41,690 tonnes in 2012 following the Triffid incident.

Canada shipped 107,256 tonnes of flax to Western Europe during the

first nine months of this year, but Germany remained closed.

Japan is another sensitive customer.

There is a small export program to Japan, but nothing like what it could have been.

“Prior to the Triffid episode, Japan was gearing up to really increase their imports of flaxseed,” said Kerr.“The potential in Japan is fairly large.”

He hopes sensitive markets will open up once the reconstituted seed is more widely grown and no harvested samples test positive for Triffid. sean.pratt@producer.com

RAILWAY PERFORMANCE | VOLUME REQUIREMENTS

Feds new grain shipment targets called wishy-washy Ottawa gone soft | Updated order in council is watered down and lacks teeth for enforcement, says Liberal MP Ralph Goodale

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The federal government’s latest plan to regulate railway performance in Western Canada isn’t as tough as it might appear on the surface, says Liberal MP Ralph Goodale.

Under closer scrutiny, he added, it looks more like a railway lap dog than a producer watchdog. “ The government wanted to appear tough so they continued the order in council,� said the Saskatchewan MP and former federal agricul-

ture minister. “But at the same time, they watered the regulations down substantially.

The one-size-fits-all regulatory route that the government is trying to follow is one of the few tools that they have at their disposal, but the reality is that the system they have imposed over the last few years is far from effective.�

Goodale said the lack of logistical co-ordination in Canada’s grain industry will continue to hurt the consistency of wheat shipments and the speed at which they are shipped.

He also raised questions about Ottawa’s ability to enforce weekly volume requirements and impose penalties for non-compliance. “I think all of the stalling around whether or not CN was in violation of the previous order in council (in September) ‌ demonstrates that the legal effectiveness of the last order was a bit of a hoax,â€? Goodale said.

Ottawa announced Nov. 29 it has extended regulations that force Canada’s two largest railway companies to haul minimum volumes of grain each week.

Under the new rules, Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway will be required to move 200,000 to 465,000 tonnes of grain a week between now and March 28, 2015, or face fines as high as $100,000 each time they fail to comply.

Ottawa also said it expects CN and CP to do the following: • Submit formal winter contingency plans, including service plans for producer car loading sites and short-line railways. • Provide information on car order fulfillment by corridor, including details on the number of cars delivered to producer car loading sites and short-line railways.

A spokesperson for transportation

minister Lisa Raitt confirmed in an email that railways will not be penalized if they fail to submit winter contingency plans or submit incomplete plans. Failure or refusal to provide information about the number of cars delivered to producer car loading sites and short-line railways also won’t be penalized.

Goodale said it remains to be seen whether Ottawa’s decision to impose “expectations� on railways will have any meaningful impact. “Expectations is an interestingly ambivalent word,� he said. “There’s no teeth there. No effective mechanism to achieve enforcement.�

Ottawa’s enforcement of its regulatory measures have come under question recently.

In mid-September, an official from Raitt’s office indicated the government would fine CN for failing to meet minimum volume requirements imposed by Ottawa. However, a Raitt spokesperson confirmed in late November that no fines have been issued.

Transport Canada “is currently in the process of examining information from CN in relation to its performance during certain weeks of the 2013-14 and 2014-15 crop years,� the email said. “(But) no decisions have yet been taken.�

In a subsequent email, Transport Canada declined to comment, saying the case is still under review.

Response to Ottawa’s new regulations has been mixed in Saskatchewan, where farmers were most affected by last winter’s rail delays. “We’re pleased that Ottawa kept the minimum volume requirements, but we’re a little disappointed with the numbers,� said Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan president Norm Hall. “We think they’re a little bit on the low side.�

Hall said he was pleased that Ottawa acknowledged farmers’ support for regulations, but he expressed concerns about enforcement.

Cam Goff, chair of the Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission, said the interim regulations announced in late November might help in the short-term, but they will not address the ongoing need for tougher legislation, better enforcement and logistical co-ordination. “Is it better than nothing? I suppose it is,� said Goff, a former CWB director. “But it’s not what’s required to solve the transportation and marketing problems that Saskatchewan farmers are facing.� brian.cross@producer.com

QUEBEC CITY — There were the usual galas, guided tours and keynote presentations by big name politicians, producers and performers.

But for the seven farming couples from across Canada who competed in last week’s Outstanding Young Farmers event in Quebec City, it was the small things that mattered most.

“We had so many rich and positive exchanges of stories and ideas with producers from across the country,” said Richard Brosseau, a francophone Albertan dairy farmer from St. Paul.

He and his wife, Nicole, were the nominees from Alberta.

This year’s winners were potato farmers Andrew and Heidi Lawless from Kinkora, P.E.I., and grain farmers Myron and Jill Krahn from Carman, Man. Brosseau said he plans to put into practice an idea he heard from a fellow farmer during the annual five-

day professional development event.

“He told me he mixes the dust of recycled drywall with straw for dry bedding,” said Brosseau, whose barn is loose housing with a straw-bedded pack.

“Apparently it’s really absorbent (and) I intend to try it.”

Another nominated couple, dairy farmers Jason and Amanda O’Connell from Carleton Place, Ont., also discovered a new idea during a visit to Ferme Jacob, an award-winning dairy farm and Holstein breeding operation near Quebec City.

“We really liked the design of their calving barn,” Amanda O’Connell

said.“We’re planning to build one this winter and expand our herd. But when we saw the simple layout of theirs, we realized we were making ours too complicated.”

The Ontario couple was impressed by the basic layout, a straw pack in the back, gates centred between pens and the use of super hutches that kept four calves.

“We use individual ones, (but) we’re going to add some super hutches because they are more practical (and) the calves we saw looked great,” said O’Connell.

She said she and her husband felt invigorated and inspired after meeting young farming couples from other regions and in other areas of production during the event.

“I’d never met a potato farmer or an organic vegetable grower before,” said O’Connell.

“It was really neat to learn that we have a lot of things in common, like dealing with employees and balancing farm and family. It makes you realize you’re not alone.”

She said she and her husband

intend to keep in contact with their new farming friends through Facebook and Twitter and attend future OYF events like next’s year meeting in Alberta.

OYF national president Jack Thomson said friendships are just one of the many benefits that participants take away from the program, which recognizes excellence in Canadian agriculture among 18- to 39-year-old farmers.

“There’s nothing like it in Canada,” said Thomson, a dairy farmer from Antigonish, N.S., and a winner, together with his wife, Rhonda MacDougall, in 2004.

“It’s a chance to meet positive rural leaders from across the country who have overcome obstacles.”

He said those meetings lead to frank and fertile exchanges between farmers, which can have practical benefits for everyone involved.

OYF nominees and alumni made up the majority of the more than 100 people who attended this year’s event.

“There are so many tangibles and

intangibles,” he said.

“Farmers are independent businesspeople who live and work in isolation in their region. This event opens them up to ideas from beyond their farmgate.”

SEAFOOD | CHRISTMAS EVE MENU

Go Italian with feast of the seven fishes TEAM RESOURCES

SARAH GALVIN, BSHEc

T

he feast of the seven fishes , a Christmas Eve tradition in some parts of the world, originates in southern Italy and the Roman Catholic Church, where seven is believed to represent the seven sacraments or seven hills surrounding Rome. It could also be named for the seventh day of the week or Sabbath.

For the feast, seven seafood dishes are presented along with a variety of side dishes and desserts as they await the arrival of the baby Jesus.

The rules of this dinner are much more relaxed today and the seafood dinner is a way to create a festive mood in advance of the turkey dinner on Christmas Day. Pairing wine with seafood is challenging. We normally think white when we think fish but it depends not only on the type of fish or seafood but the method of preparation.

Shellfish generally calls for a light white wine like Vouvray or champagne. Spicy recipes are enhanced with something sweeter like an offdry gewurztraminer or riesling.

White fleshed fish in a butter sauce pairs well with a chardonnay or white burgundy. Salmon and oily, darker fleshed fish work better with a light red like a pinot noir or a good rosé.

If unsure, a good champagne or sparkling wine goes well with all fish.

ROASTED RAINBOW TROUT WITH ORANGE AND THYME Any whole fish can be used but arctic char and salmon work well. Flash grilling the orange slices in a dry hot pan before garnishing adds more interest to their appearance and caramelizes the sugars for a more complex flavour.

2 lb. whole rainbow trout, 1 kg scaled, gutted, and cleaned kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 3 sprigs thyme 2 sprigs flat leaf parsley 1/2 orange, sliced into thin rounds 1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil 60 mL 2 tbsp. fresh orange juice 30 mL Heat oven to 450 F (230 C). Season the trout cavity with salt and pepper and stuff with thyme, parsley and orange slices. Using kitchen twine, tie the trout crosswise spacing two inches apart.

Rub trout with one tablespoon (15 mL) of oil, then transfer it to an aluminum foil lined baking sheet. Bake trout, turning once with a metal spatula, until cooked through and golden brown on the outside, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk the remaining oil with the juice in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Remove twine from the trout and garnish with more orange slices. Drizzle with sauce before serving. Serves two as a main course.

Use fish and seafood you have on hand.

Frozen seafood should be thawed in the refrigerator a day or two in advance rather than leaving it at room temperature.

1 1/2 c. rice flour 375 mL 1 c. cornstarch 250 mL pinch of sugar pinch of cayenne pepper sea salt freshly ground black pepper 2 lemons, 1 thinly sliced and 1 cut into wedges 1 lb. squid, cut into 500 g 1 1/2 inch (7 cm) pieces, or large shrimp, peeled and deveined 4 oz. shucked oysters 110 g 4 oz. scallops 110 g 1/2 lb. firm mild white fish, 500 g cut into 1 1/4-inch (4 cm) strips canola oil, as needed Pour oil into a dutch oven or other wide, deep pot to at least six inches (15 cm) deep. Set the pot over medium heat.

Bring to 275 F (135 C) and maintain that temperature.

While oil is heating, combine flour, cornstarch, sugar, cayenne and two teaspoons (10 mL) each of salt and pepper in a wide, shallow bowl. Dredge the lemon slices and seafood in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.

Using tongs or a slotted spoon, gently lower some of the dredged lemon slices into the hot oil, working with just four to six pieces at a time to avoid crowding the pot. The oil should bubble and sizzle but not spatter.

Cook until golden brown and crisp, about five minutes. Keep an eye on the

oil temperature. It will drop after the raw ingredients are added and climb as they are cooking. Do not let the oil temperature climb above 280 F (138 C).

Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the lemons to a baking sheet or platter lined with paper towels or newspaper and season with salt and pepper while still hot.

Repeat with the seafood, reserving the squid. Increase the temperature of the oil to 325 F (160 C) and repeat with the squid.

Serve family style, on a platter or a newspaper covered table, along with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing. Serves four to six as a main course.

MUSSELS IN A TOMATO/WHITE WINE BROTH Mussels have stringy hairs coming from the closed shell that must be removed, a process known as debearding. Slice cleanly with a knife.

4 lb. mussels, scrubbed 2 kg and debearded 2 tbsp. olive oil 30 mL 1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and finely chopped 1 medium leek, white part only, finely chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 tsp. dried thyme 3 mL sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 2-14 1/2 oz. cans diced 398 mL tomatoes 1/2 lb. cooked smoked 250 g chorizo, thinly sliced 3/4 c. dry white wine 185 mL 1 lb. fettuccine, cooked 500 g crusty bread

Scrub and debeard mussels and set aside. Cook pasta while you prepare the mussels.

Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large Dutch oven that will hold all the ingredients. Add bell pepper, leek, garlic, thyme, one teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.

Cook, stirring, until vegetables are soft, about five minutes.

Mix in tomatoes and chorizo and cook and stir until warmed, about five minutes.

Add mussels, wine and increase heat to high. Stir. Cover and cook for three minutes. Turn off heat and keep lid on the pot. Leave to rest for a minute. Open and and discard shells that did not open.

A Saskatchewan artist recently completed and sold a painting per day.

Christalee Froese’s online campaign raised $4,500 to help fund the adoption process for a Chinese orphan with Down Syndrome.

Five-year-old Mei Chen, who lives in a Chinese orphanage in Jiangxi province, will join her adopted family from Wisconsin in April.

Froese first met the abandoned orphan when she adopted her own daughter, Journey, from China in 2011.

The Montmartre writer and artist worked with U.S. groups to locate a family for Mei Chen. Racing for Orphans with Down Syndrome had already raised $15,000, thanks to thousands of dollars from Saskatchewan donors, but $30,000 was needed to fund the international adoption process for one child.

Froese was inspired to help raise money through her hobby of painting.

“I thought, ‘why don’t I launch Art For Orphans for 21 days and paint what I can and sell what I can. That’ll add to the pot of money,’ ” she said.

Starting Nov. 1, Froese painted for about four hours each evening after putting Journey to bed.

She used oil on canvas, and subject matter ranged from animals to landscapes. The size of her paintings

kept growing as each day passed, and her final two works of art were 46 by 52 inches.

“It kind of took on a life of its own, actually, once the first week was over,” she said.

She had her doubts at first and didn’t know if she could produce a painting a day.

“Previously, I produced two paintings a year, if I was lucky, and once I decided this, a painting was coming out of my soul a day,” she said.

“The bottom line was that I was channelling something much larger than me. I still think it was all driven by this greater purpose to help a child. Sometimes that’s not in your control. That’s something bigger.”

Froese described the end of the 21 days as a combination of exhaustion mixed with joy.

“I felt like I had run 21 consecutive marathons, but I was absolutely elated,” she said.

“You just put in your heart and soul and feel totally drained and totally overwhelmed and totally ecstatic.”

Several paintings went to buyers in British Columbia, but most were bought by members of her own rural community as well as neighbouring communities.

“I don’t think this could have happened anywhere else. I live in a rural community and word gets out and you instantly have 500 walking billboards for your project,” she said. william.dekay@producer.com

FARM LIVING ON THE FARM | CHALLENGES

Farm takes pride in raising healthy birds, safe food Taking on opponents | Despite biosecurity risks, farm welcomes visitors to protect the industry’s reputation

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Jake and Lorraine Wiebe operate Newest Poultry Farm, started by Jake’s parents in 1952. This year, they participated in Open Farm Days to squelch misinformation on poultry production and show visitors how their birds are raised. The farm uses technology that allows Jake to watch over his son’s chicken barn three kilometres away through a Blackberry app. | ED WHITE PHOTOS

NEW BOTHWELL, Man. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; It was a busy day on the Wiebe farm as dozens of visitors from nearby towns and from Winnipeg trod through the broiler chicken operation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop moving today,â&#x20AC;? said Lorraine Wiebe, who lives on the farm with her husband, Jake.

This was an unusual day because there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally off-farm, nonchicken people walking around the lawn and barns.

But this was Open Farm Day and this couple decided to open their farm to anyone from the public who wanted to pop by.

That created certain complications for an already busy livestock operation that focuses on high biosecurity.

Every visitor had to put on plastic booties and undergo a short explanatory session on why chicken farmers care so much about controlling disease.

And a couple of dozen times that day, Jake, Lorraine and their son and daughter took groups of visitors out to the picture window built into the side of one of their barns to explain how a chick turns into a chicken and becomes a food product.

It also created some worries for the family, which is, like most operators of intensive livestock operations, hy p e r- aw a re o f d i s e a s e b e i n g tracked into their farm by an oblivious visitor.

But Jake said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more worried about an even greater danger to this industry that has supported his parents, him and Lorraine, and their children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other risk is political,â&#x20AC;? said Jake. People from the city â&#x20AC;&#x153;are listening to the activists, so we said letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open our doors and show what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for a family that prides itself on animal care and running a farm to hear the attacks on poultry production. The stories being told about families like theirs arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t true, he said.

So they challenged those stereotypes by putting themselves out there for the public to examine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not doing anything wrong,â&#x20AC;? said Jake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we said, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open our doors and show what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing.â&#x20AC;?

This is one of the complexities of running a significant livestock operation near Winnipeg. Some families feel compelled to reach out to urbanites to ensure that there are positive images about farming among cityfolk.

But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reduce any of the daily round of chores and activities that a bustling farm requires.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Jake is thrilled with one bit of modern technology that is

making his life easier: online appbased monitoring of barns.

He pulls out his Blackberry, taps on an icon and up pops a program that reveals the water consumption, humidity, temperature and a number of other features of the barn heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watching.

This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a big deal for him with his barns in his own farmyard, since he regularly checks them in person, but it makes him feel better about his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s barn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The birds today are 157 grams, four miles away in another barn,â&#x20AC;? he said, looking at the mobile.

Modern technology has made some things on the farms easier, but it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cheap. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For that one barn, we spent $8,000 just to have this information,.â&#x20AC;?

This family farm started with Jakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents in 1952. The 1964 barn his father built is â&#x20AC;&#x153;now my shop,â&#x20AC;? said Jake.

The barns look in good condition, regardless of age, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due to regular upgrades of such things as insulation and power.

Jake and Lorraine are proud of the farm they operate and the clean, healthy food it provides. That pride helps them not only endure, but celebrate the scrutiny they face from activists, the public and even their own industry, which tries to ensure farmers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t endangering animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; health, food safety or chicken farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reputations.

They get a scheduled audit every year but also face the permanent prospect of snap inspections, in which inspectors arrive and require immediate access to the barns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One day, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here,â&#x20AC;? said Jake.

With steadily increasing complexity in chicken production and food safety, and steadily increasing scrutiny from consumers and the public, and the challenges of living near a growing city, farming in the Wiebeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s area can seem fraught with challenges.

But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to enjoy the farm life regardless, even on a busy Open Farm Day when there are even more demands than on an ordinary day.

This day, granddaughter Brianna was enjoying attention from Lorraine and her mom, daughter-in-law Robynn.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always something to do on the Wiebe farm, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often time to enjoy it too. ed.white@producer.com

FOOD AND FARM CARE CONFERENCE | MISINFORMATION

Products, technology harmful, depending on data used GMOs under attack | Professor says many consumers aren’t educated on benefits of the technology so they take an opposing view

BY ROBYN TOCKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

People tend to believe myths more than facts, said a McGill University professor.

Joe Schwarcz, a featured presenter at the Food and Farm Care Conference in Saskatoon Dec. 11, said it’s important to present scientific work to disprove agricultural myths.

“By definition, faith requires no evidence. But in science we don’t go by belief. We go by evidence and evidence may not be as emotionally attractive, but it is data that we go by,” he said.

“Once something is out there, it is very difficult to take it back, no matter how incorrect it is.”

Schwarcz, who discussed glyphosate and organics in a phone interview, said the myth currently drawing the most attention is GMOs. “The lay view is that this is untested, untried technology and we’re overstepping the boundaries of science and that just is not the case.”

“The problem is that it’s not so easy to explain genetic modification to people who are not well versed in science,” he said.

When people hear about problems with GMOs and don’t see the benefit,

JOE SCHWARCZ PROFESSOR

Schwarcz said it’s easy for people to say they shouldn’t be used.

“How do you make people understand that everything they eat is genetically modified through cross-

breeding and is not significantly different?”

Schwarcz said there have been papers written recently that vilify glyphosate, one of the most widely used herbicides. He expressed concern with one written by an MIT electrical engineer.

“People are looking for an explanation for why bad things happen and she provides that, even though it’s totally wrong,” he said.

Schwarcz said products can be made to sound “evil,” depending on how the data is cherry picked and what literature is read.

Spending time with Grandpa SPEAKING OF LIFE

SIR YIELDS-A-LOT JACKLIN ANDREWS, BA, MSW

Q:

I am proud that our two teenaged boys make a point of spending extra time with their grandfather. I know that their visits are special for him, but I also know they would like to be doing more for Grandpa. They are looking to me for guidance. What do you suggest?

A:

Your question is relevant for many families.

The first task for your sons is to listen to their aging grandfather. Most old guys have their stories that they love to tell young people and they love to tell their stories more than once.

Listening is an art and a science.

The more your sons can develop that skill with their grandfather, the more likely they will be able to use it to build successful relationships.

Your sons can keep going for walks with him, take in a game at the hockey arena or curling rink, go fishing or whatever Grandpa likes to do.

As Grandpa ages, the list of what he is able to do gets shorter. The danger is that he will begin to believe that he is not able to do anything.

It is important for him physically and psychologically, to have some sense of control over his life. He is more likely to have that sense of selfcontrol if he is as active as he can be.

The sad truth is that only about one in five seniors are as physically active. Many seniors get discouraged. The rewards for robust activities are not always immediately apparent. But the personal rewards for Grandpa going for a walk is s spending time with your sons.

Of course, once it starts it continues elsewhere. Chances are good that your sons will find Grandpa busy doing other things once they get him up and about. That is what could be rewarding for your sons.

an increase in glyphosate alongside an increase in diseases, but Schwarcz said this same conclusion could be drawn by replacing the herbicide with cellphones or flat screen televisions.

“Correlation is not the same as causation,” he said.

People buy organics for often faulty reasons such as a belief that no pesticides are used or because they have more nutrients. They also believe they are better for the environment, “which is more or less correct,” he said. robyn.tocker@producer.com

Sheep producer sells purebreds to focus on improved genetics North Country Cheviot sold | She plans to build her Suffolk flock and import semen

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Patty Smith dispersed one of her two purebred sheep flocks at Canadian Western Agribition last month.

It wasn’t a matter of downsizing as much as it was sharpening her focus on the real reason she got into the business in the first place.

“My ultimate goal was genetic advancement,” she said.

That means bringing in out-cross genetics to improve flocks across western Canada.

She had small flocks of both Suffolk

and North Country Cheviot, but the latter were sold off at Agribition with two remaining rams set to go later.

“Bringing semen from the U.K. for Suffolk is much easier,” she explained.

“It’s more plentiful and available.”

Smith sold five ewes and two rams at Agribition. Her Suffolk flock she keeps to no more than 10 ewes.

Introducing new genetics is a costly and involved process that includes laparoscopic surgery for the ewes receiving the semen.

The work is done at the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine, under anesthetic, and results in a stay of eight to nine days.

But Smith notes that if each ewe has twins she can offer about 20 lambs each year as breeding stock.

And if she keeps her breeding flock small she can continue to bring in new genetics, maintain her full-time job as director of business develop-

ment and human resources at Blair’s, and help with the large beef cow herd she and her husband Shawn run.

Both Suffolk and North Country Cheviot offer advantages to producers. Suffolks have better dispositions, grow quickly and the rams are good terminal cross sires for commercial producers, she said.

“It’s difficult to get a better maternal breed than North Country Cheviot,” she said.

One of her two remaining rams is set to be sold off the farm while the other will sell at the All Canadian Classic in Winnipeg next summer.

At Agribition, Smith consigned the high-selling lot of the sale. Rocking S Jilly 1X, a Suffolk ewe, sold for $825 to Ryder Feuher of Weyburn, Sask.

She also had success in the show ring, showing the grand champion North Country Cheviot ram, Coneygeers El Grande 3Z , and the reserve ewe, Coneygeers Beep 2Z, which sold for $750 and $500, respectively.

TRADE | SUPPLY MANAGEMENT

Canada’s push for more market access may backfire Dairy protections on hot seat | Chicken Farmers of Canada say supply management and international trade are ‘absolutely compatible’

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

An aggressive trade agenda that has improved market access for Canadian beef and pork producers has also prompted some exporting nations to eye the country’s supply managed dairy sector.

However, officials in Canada’s supply managed sectors contend that greater access into Canada’s dairy, poultry and egg markets aren’t imperative to ongoing trade talks.

“Supply management and international trade are absolutely compatible when we focus not on rhetoric and theory but on practicality and what is in our own best interest,” said Mike Dungate, executive director of Chicken Farmers of Canada.

The issue is of more interest to the country’s dairy producers, particularly after New Zealand’s high commissioner raised the topic of tariffs last month.

New Zealand, which has large dairy exports, is participating in ongoing Trans-Pacific Partnership talks, a 12-country free trade deal that also includes Canada, Mexico, the United States and Japan.

Yves Leduc, director of international trade for Dairy Farmers of Ca n a d a, s a i d C a n a d a a l re a d y

imports more than 10 percent of domestic requirements for dairy products. “(New Zealand is) not necessarily interested in accessing the Canadian market,” he said.

“They claim that their interest is really centred into Asia. However, their claim is that if we provide an exception to Canada, that opens the door to others getting exceptions.”

Other sources have also criticized Canadian supply management this year.

A Conference Board of Canada report called for changes to dairy production quota and trade reform, and U.S. dairy groups took issue when details of Canada’s free trade deal with the European Union were released.

That pact, the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, will create a bigger market for Canadian beef and pork products but also increase European cheese makers’ access by reallocating quota from the United States.

“Canada added insult to injury by not only impairing the quality of the cheese market access U.S. exporters expect to gain through ongoing Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations, but also moving to water down the small access they currently offer

to U.S. exporters through Canada’s W TO quota,” Jaime Castaneda, senior vice-president of the U.S. National Milk Producers Federation and the U.S. Dairy Export Council, said in a news release earlier this fall.

Leduc said the TPP talks and CETA are different.

Canada’s main interest in the TPP talks is Japan, which is protective of its farm sector. Pork industry officials are seeking full tariff elimination.

On the other hand, New Zealand isn’t an important market for Canadian exports and Canada already has a free trade agreement with the U.S. “CETA has been viewed as an important priority in the context of Canada’s trade strategy. I’m not disputing that. However, when I look at TPP, I think it’s a totally different con-

text,” said Leduc.

“I don’t foresee Japan seeking access to dairy, poultry and egg markets, and I don’t think Canada is truly a demander when it comes to gaining access to Australia or the New Zealand market.… It’s not the most lucrative market here. Why would I make a concession that could result in severely affecting the supply management system … in order to gain nothing at the end of the day?”

Japan is the largest market in the TPP talks other than the U.S. “Look at how quickly Canada moved once Japan said it wanted to be in,” said Dungate.

“We’re not shipping anything to New Zealand and Australia. We’re competitors with them. This is the market that we want.”

Canadian government officials have continued to support supply management, while officials in those sectors point to a long history of trade deals that enforce the system.

Leduc mentioned another recently completed trade deal with South Korea.

“Yes, one (CETA) does provide some access and (South Korea) doesn’t, so which one should be seen as a precedent?” said Leduc.

“I think that the context was such that Canada truly wanted to get a deal with the European Union, and the pressure must’ve been extremely strong on Canada to do something….

I think Canada is not necessarily in the same situation here.” dan.yates@producer.com

SWINE VIRUS | ONTARIO CASE

PED found on Ont. farm

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

OTTAWA — The 65th farm infected with porcine epidemic diarrhea in Ontario was confirmed Nov. 20. It was the second of only two cases confirmed since July.

Greg Douglas, Ontario’s chief veterinarian, is nevertheless reluctant to enthuse over control measures.

“With a lot of these viruses, I think you’ve got to be very careful about patting yourself on the back. With PED and swine delta corona viruses, there’s going to be more viruses that are going to affect not only the pork industry … but others,” he said.

“I think we’ve got to be really careful about seeing the end or giving ourselves too many accolades because we have to continue to work on biosecurity at the farmgate.”

Douglas acknowledges the preparation time that Canada enjoyed after the United States first diagnosed PED in April 2013. Producer engagement and the work of Canadian agencies, governments and swine veterinarians put measures in place that have minimized PED’s impact.

Canada confirmed its first case in January, which proved to be a strain similar to that seen in the U.S. Harpreet Kochhar, Canada’s chief veterinary officer, said the Canadian Swine Health Board was instrumental in informing producers of the threat and encouraging strict biosecurity on farms and at border crossings.

Kochar said Ontario had eliminated PED at 21 of the affected sites as of late September. One infected Que-

bec farm has now tested negative, as has the one case in Prince Edward Island.

Several of the six infected farms in Manitoba are still battling the virus.

“I do see the glass half full. It’s kind of a success story for Canada, de-pending on how you see it,” Kochar told the National Farmed Animal Health and Welfare Council Nov. 25.

“We have been able to maintain the market in an open stage.”

PED is not a federally reportable disease, but some provinces made it reportable to better track and control infection.

The World Health Organization does not list PED as reportable because it does not affect human health. However, Kochar said the World Organization for Animal Health is kept informed of Canadian PED cases in the interests of transparency.

The virus thrives in cold weather, so Douglas warned that more cases are likely in coming months.

“We’re going into a critical season,” he said.

“Winter is when the virus does the best, has the most longevity. So I think we have to be very conscious of our own biosecurity promotion and prevention, and then if there is a break, then working closely with your veterinarian on strategies so you don’t make it worse.”

PED has been confirmed in 32 U.S. states and two weeks ago was found for the first time in Hawaii. The virus has killed millions of piglets across the U.S. in the last 18 months. barb.glen@producer.com

SNOW DAY AT AGRIBITION

BEES | STERILIZATION

Ozone treatment kills bee pests, reduces pesticides Electrified oxygen | Ozone is already used in water treatment and to control disease in potatoes

BY JEFFREY CARTER FOR THE WESTERN PRODUCER

MARKHAM, Ont. — Ozone sterilization may be coming to North America’s honey industry, thanks to a Burlington, Ont., company, an Ontario beekeeper and the Ontario Beekeepers’ Association’s technology transfer team.

“When we get this finished, it will be groundbreaking work,” said Jim Simpson with Simpson Environmental.

He said ozone sterilization is already widely used in water treatment systems, and he believes the honey industry can use it to sterilize boxes, frames and honeycombs to kill insect and disease pests and reduce pesticide residues.

Simpson, working with the tech team and Mike Parker of Parker-Bee Apiaries at Beamsville, Ont., converted a refrigerated trailer into a mobile ozone treatment unit.

He said ozone is electrified oxygen that contains a third oxygen molecule.

JIM SIMPSON SIMPSON ENVIRONMENTAL

Simpson introduces the gas at the top of the sealed trailer because it’s heavier than air. It’s circulated through stacked hive equipment, and the strong oxidizing action of the ozone provides the sterilization action.

The prototype that’s been developed is a 53-foot unit, with a 43-foot sterilization chamber and a 10-foot control room.

Building in safety protocols was a key consideration. Ozone occurs naturally in nature — it can be smelled after a lightening strike — but it’s toxic to humans in higher levels.

“The dosage level we apply to the combs is significant. We use levels that measure in thousands of parts per million,” Simpson said.

Les Eccles of the OBA’s tech transfer team said ozone sterilization is used

Ozone is a gas made of

to control disease in stored potatoes.

Additional research is to be conducted this summer to fine tune ozone concentration, time of treatment, temperature and humidity.

He hopes to have a commercial system in place by next fall so beekeepers can treat equipment following the extraction of honey.

Simpson, Eccles and Parker-Bee Apiaries are building on research conducted by Rosalind James from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Pollinating Insects Research Unit in Utah.

James first had success using ozone to manage insect pests and disease in hive equipment, including the wax moth, the bacterium that causes American foulbrood and the fungus that causes chalk brood.

However, it’s more difficult dealing with pesticides, including those used by beekeepers to control mites.

“In our experiments, ozone was not very effective in eliminating pesticides in old comb but occurred more readily with new comb,” James and her colleagues wrote in a paper published by the Journal of Agricultural Science last year.

“One approach that beekeepers could take to prevent the buildup of pesticide residues in honeycomb is to start with new comb, treat it with ozone annually and replace their combs more often than is common in the U.S and Canada … perhaps every few years rather than reusing it for decades.”

Eccles said ozone treatment is effective against the active ingredients in Checkmite and Apistan Strips, but isn’t useful for neonicotinoid insecticides. These do not build up in wax but are a concern in honey and pollen, he said.

April Parker of Parker-Bee said there’s been dramatic late fall bee kills this year at the family business, which could be related to the bees consuming stored corn pollen contaminated with insecticides.

BISON | DIET WARNING

Limit barley in bison feed Balancing act | Animals need healthy ratio of forage and barley

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Bison finishers should make sure they don’t go overboard feeding barley, says a researcher from Thompson Rivers University.

John Church told the Canadian Bison Association annual convention that health conscious consumers are looking for the nutritional attributes in bison meat. However, those qualities fade if bison aren’t fed the right diet.

“One of the strengths (of bison meat) is that most of the bison producers I’ve looked at, a lot of them are using a very high percentage of forage in their finishing ration, so it’s making the bison meat in general very healthy,” he said in an interview during the convention.

Feeding forage produces meat containing more omega 3 fatty acids, while feeding barley produces meat with more omega 6.

Church said both are essential, but it’s the ratio of omega 6 over omega 3 that is the key.

The meat isn’t as healthy if the ratio is too high, and the western diet already contains excessive amounts of omega 6.

“We’re taking in far too much of omega 6 at the expense of omega 3,” Church said.

That’s important because both fats compete for the same binding sites in the body.

Eating salmon and other foods high in omega 3 won’t counterbalance the effect of eating too much omega 6, he added.

“It’s all about the balance.”

However, Church said he recognizes that feeding forage sometimes isn’t practical or economical.

Feeding conserved forage will hurt meat quality, even if the bales have been wrapped or used in the form of haylage.

“It’s hard to get the energy to finish an animal on conserved forage,” he said. “There’s probably a nice compromise where we use modest amounts of grain in our finishing rations, so I don’t think we should give up on grain.”

Some grains won’t spike the omega 6 ratio. For example, flax and peas in conjunction with forages are good alternatives. A desirable ratio is about 4:1, he added.

Research conducted by Church and his colleagues shows that the worst ratio was found in commercial

chicken breast at about 20:1.

Grain-fed beef came in at between 5:1 and 8:1, while grass-fed ratios were 2:1. Natural chicken was about 10:1.

Church said the high ratios in chicken are also a result of the postSecond World War move to feed more grain to livestock. Chickens had previously tended to scratch out their living on the farm, and insects are “super high” in omega 3.

S a l m o n a re h i g h i n o m e g a 3 because they eat small fish that have eaten algae. The omega 6 will increase if those same fish are fed grain-based diets.

The bison study compared grainfed bison, early and late bulls, and grass-fed bison. The grain-fed bison numbers are comparable to beef, while grass-fed bison are much higher in omega 3.

Church said bison weren’t designed to eat too much grain, and he is concerned about over-finished animals arriving at the slaughter plant. karen.briere@producer.com

CONSUMER OPINIONS | BUILDING TRUST

Relationships beat facts in food debate

BY KAREN BRIERE REGINA BUREAU

Farmers can present all the facts they want on a particular issue but still won’t necessarily change consumers’ minds, says the director of the Missouri-based Centre for Food Integrity.

“Facts don’t rule the day for consumers,” Roxi Beck told the Canadian Bison Association annual convention.

She said consumers are drawn to ideas of people they perceive to be like themselves. Not being an expert won’t stop someone from having a strong opinion and influencing oth-

ers. These are the challenges producers face when dealing with consumers who no longer receive their information from traditional sources and authorities. The challenges are intensified when consumers have strong personal beliefs about food and agriculture.

Beck said this doesn’t mean producers can’t get their messages across. It just means they might have to change how they do it.

A survey that the centre did last year found that 34 percent of the 2,005 respondents — half male and half female — believed the food industry was on the right track in establishing trust.

However, 38 percent said it was on the wrong track and 28 percent didn’t know.

“This is a challenge,” Beck said.

“Trust certainly isn’t where we’d like it to be.” karen.briere@producer.com

POULTRY VIRUS | TRANSMISSION

Avian flu in Britain may be linked to other countries LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — Avian flu found on a duck farm in northern England might be linked to a highly contagious strain of the disease found recently on a poultry farm in the Netherlands.

It is also linked to a case early this month in Germany.

The head of the World Organization for Animal Health said the outbreaks could be linked because the virus is most often transmitted through wild birds.

British authorities said the strain

was serious for poultry but only a minimal danger to humans and was not the deadly H5N1.

A 10-kilometre restriction zone has been placed around the farm in Yorkshire, and all 6,000 ducks on the site will be killed.

“The public health risk is very low and there is no risk to the food chain,” said a spokesperson at Britain’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

Britain last saw a case of H5N1 in birds in 2008, and although there

have been reported cases since, none have been the dangerous H5 or H7 strains, according to Britain’s National Health Service.

Wendy Barclay, a professor specializing in flu virology at Imperial College in London, said bird flu viruses can be dangerous for poultry, but previous outbreaks of H5 strains in Britain have never infected people.

South Korea culled more than six percent of its poultry in March to stop the spread. China and Japan have also reported H5N1 cases this year.

HUMAN DIET | GLOBAL IMPLICATIONS

Eating more meat not progress, says researcher Higher obesity rates | Professor says increased affluence has lead to more obesity and sparked more animal welfare concerns

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

The implications of ever-increasing global meat consumption are mostly bad, says University of Lethbridge geography professor Ian MacLachlan.

The negative outcomes include more human obesity, grain stocks diverted to livestock, higher risk of epizootic disease, environmental degradation and animal welfare concerns.

His presentation, part of the U of L’s public professor series, raised eyebrows in a room filled with people

who live in Canada’s most concentrated livestock feeding area.

Hundreds of thousands of cattle are raised and finished in southern Alberta, and the industry hopes that greater exports will make up for a decline in per capita beef consumption in Canada.

“The world is eating more meat and it has been increasing its consumption of meat going back to 1961 without interruption,” said MacLachlan.

China, in particular, has increased meat consumption much higher than the global average.

Consumption in South and Central

IAN MACLACHLAN PROFESSOR

America is also increasing at rates faster than the world average.

African levels are below the world average, as are those in southern Asia.

China’s dramatic increase in meat consumption has caused a “nutri-

tional transition,” said MacLachlan.

Its percentage of overweight people is lower than that of Organization of Co-operation and Development Economic countries, but “in the last 15 years, overweight rates have doubled and obesity rates have tripled.

That is one outcome of increased consumption of meat.”

However, MacLachlan said the higher rates are not exclusively because of meat consumption, but also because of greater affluence and increased urbanization, which allows or causes higher consumption.

“All of the mechanisms aren’t

understood,” said MacLachlan.

In a later interview, he pondered the question of whether there is an upside to increased meat consumption.

“That is a really good question. We know what the downside potential might be,” he said. “What do we know about the upside potential? I suppose that the countries that are experiencing dietary change see that as consistent with a movement towards higher levels of development and human progress, and to the extent that consumers have more choices, isn’t that a measure of the economic success of a development process that is so fraught?”

“It really comes down to what outcome will maximize our human utility, and we have to go back to the downside. Can we do this in a sustainable way? We’ve got lots of evidence that we’ve made some mistakes, embarrassing ones, and are we going to learn from those mistakes?

That’s a very good question.”

During his presentation, MacLachlan said Australia ships live cattle and sheep to other countries, but slaughter methods at the end point are inhumane and abysmal. It’s a cause of concern and embarrassment for Australia. He said animal welfare will become a greater issue as global meat consumption continues to increase.

Canadian cattle producers are more aware of those implications, he added.

“I think that a lot of producers are deeply committed to the most ethical kinds of practice. They’re proud of being ethical, and they’re doing what they can to maintain their sense of pride in the occupation that defines their lives,” he said. “It’s very important to those people, so I don’t think they’ve lost their social licence, but I think that there certainly are a lot of critics out there, and we’re hearing more from those critics than ever before.” barb.glen@producer.com

PESTICIDE DANGER | FOWL

Neonicotiniod threat to wild birds questioned Experts disagree | Toxicologist claims neonics poison aquatic insects, depriving birds of food.

Environmental professor says not so fast.

BY ROBERT ARNASON BRANDON BUREAU

A study on neonicotiniod seed treatments that raises alarms about the dangers the practice poses to birds is being questioned by a University of Manitoba environmental toxicologist.

The study by University of Saskatchewan toxicologist Christy Morrissey said neonics are poisoning aquatic insects and endangering the birds that depend on the bugs for food.

But Mark Hanson, a U of M associate professor of environment and geography, said the study’s claim is theoretical because the science backing the hypothesis is questionable and weak.

“I don’t think the data is all that compelling at this point. Certainly, the idea that we’re seeing significant impacts on the invertebrates, especially insects … that then go on to have impacts on birds, there’s a couple of steps there. That evidence is not all that strong,”

For every bird that is killed by a pesticide, by Environment Canada’s own estimates … 100 are killed by a cat.”

MARK HANSON ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGIST

“While declines in certain groups and species of birds have been occurring in Canada, these declines pre-date the introduction of neonics by decades…. Other birds that rely on wetlands, such as waterfowl, have been increasing over the same period.”

Neonicotinoid seed treatments are applied to almost all of the corn and canola seeds planted in Canada and a portion of soybean seeds. They generated global headlines in late November when the Ontario government became the first North American jurisdiction to restrict their use.

Ontario wants to reduce the acres of corn and soybeans planted with neonicotinoid treated seed by 80 percent. The government said the restrictions are needed to protect pollinators and the environment.

Neonicotinoids have been linked to a reported decline in bee populations in Canada and the United States.

The decision angered Grain Farmers of Ontario and Canada’s seed industry, which called the policy unscientific, unjustified and political.

In a statement defending its decision, the province said neonics contaminate wetlands.

“It is possible for neonicotinoids to run off from fields to nearby water bodies where they can cause harm to aquatic insects and affect the animals that feed on those insects.”

Morrissey’s research may have influenced the Ontario government’s position.

She sampled soil and ponds in

Western Canada and concluded that neonics are moving from the soil into wetlands.

“It’s staying in the soil,” Morrissey said. “And then as soon as the snow melts or it rains … it’s just running off the fields and into these ponds.”

Morrissey has said the concentrations of neonics in ponds are high enough to kill aquatic insects.

“So birds that are flying around, they are primarily eating midges and mosquitoes,” Morrissey told the CBC earlier this year.

“The ducks in the ponds, they are reliant on the midges, for example.

So we know that these insects are basically the food supply for a lot of wildlife.”

In a scientific review in the journal Environment International, Morrissey said neonic contaminated water is an environmental threat.

“It appears that environmentally relevant concentrations of neonicotinoids in surface waters worldwide are well within the range where both short- and long-term impacts on aquatic invertebrate species are possible,” she said.

“Neonics (exceed) effect thresholds in up to 74 to 81 percent of surface waters worldwide.”

Julie Anderson, a U of S toxicology graduate and scientist with Stantec engineering in Winnipeg, has also done a literature review of neonics in Canadian water bodies.

The paper is expected to be published in Science of the Total Environment. In the paper, which Hanson edited, Anderson concluded there is a potential for neonics to affect aquatic insects.

However, she said there isn’t enough data to deter mine the amount of neonics in wetlands and if

BIRDS HAVE MORE ENEMIES THAN INSECTICIDES Two papers by Environment Canada scientists Anna Calvert and Peter Blanche that were published in Avian Conservation and Ecology concluded that cats are the No. 1 killer of wild birds in Canada. According to the scientists’ estimates: • There are approximately 5.2 billion wild birds in southern Canada. Each year, house cats and feral cats kill two to seven percent of those birds.

those levels are a threat to insects.

Hanson said neonicotinoids in water bodies can kill aquatic insects at small concentrations, but the measured levels in Canadian wetlands are typically lower than Morrissey’s recommended thresholds.

“When we look at the total concentrations of neonics observed in wetlands… these are on average usually less than 100 nanograms per litre (parts per trillion), which is below proposed and highly conservative acute values of 200 nanograms per litre for the protection of aquatic life.”

More experts skeptical Other Canadian biologists have made similar comments about Morrissey’s research. They argue that with concentrations in the parts per trillion, it’s a stretch to conclude that neonics are killing billions of insects and cutting off the food supply to birds.

Biologists have also criticized Morrissey for promoting her research in the media before the relevant studies were published.

Hanson said Morrissey’s data shows higher concentrations because she treats small, temporary wetlands the same as larger ponds.

• Fifteen to 30 million birds die each year when they crash into buildings.

• Agricultural pesticides kill 960,000 to 4.4 million birds, with a median estimate of 2.7 million.

Farmland on the Prairies often has low spots known as ephemeral wetlands. Farmers can seed a crop in those spots in dry years, but in wet summers they become temporary ponds.

“The data that’s been presented really doesn’t distinguish between the types of wetlands,” Hanson said. “(Ephemeral wetlands) tend to see the greatest concentrations (of neonics). There shouldn’t be any surprise there … because in previous years (farmers) have been seeding that spot or very close to that spot.”

Hanson said permanent wetlands on the Prairies contain almost no neonics because a vegetation buffer of cattails and larger volumes of water prevent contamination.

Morrissey said in an email that Hanson’s comments are incorrect.

She said she sampled wetlands of all sizes, from seasonal to semi-permanent to permanent.

“While shallower ponds tend to have higher concentrations on average, our highest neonic concentration, 3,100 nanogram per litre, was from a semipermanent pond that was never dry in the past couple years.”

Hanson said another weakness in Morrissey’s findings is that neonics persist in water for days rather than years.

“These compounds have a half life, in surface waters, of a few days,” he said. “They’re rapidly broken down … via sunlight.”

Morrissey agreed they do degrade relatively quickly when enough sunlight penetrates the water.

However, the chemicals can persist in soil for years, and insecticidecontaminated water will move from soil into ponds when it rains.

“This will cause water concentrations to repeatedly spike at intervals,” he said.

“Thus, if you are an invertebrate in the water, you will be exposed continuously over a long period of time.”

As for Ontario’s decision to restrict the use of neonics in agriculture, Hanson said the public and politicians like black and white stories where pesticides are bad and nature is good.

“Whenever I hear a politician make a claim that (a pesticide ban) is going to fix the environment, I am exceptionally dubious.”

“As far as these new order system are concerned, they’re just designed to make (CN and CP) look good,” said a spokesperson for the Saskatchewan Shortline Railway Association (SSRA).

“Right now, we don’t know how many cars we’re getting from week to week, or even when we’re getting them, until a train pulls in.

“If CN and CP want us to restrict our orders to four weeks, then why can’t

they provide us with a schedule, four weeks out, telling us how many cars we’re getting and when we can expect them? It’s just a one-sided arrangement to make their own (car order backlog) numbers look better.”

CN and CP established their new rail car allocation policies earlier this year, effectively limiting the number of car orders that shippers can place.

CP will cap the number of orders from any producer car loading site or shipping facility at four times the facility’s total car spot capacity.

New orders will be accepted as those car orders are filled.

CN’s new rules are similar, but they limit car order requests at two week’s worth of shippers’ capacity.

Under CN’s system, total car order requests by a large grain shipper must not exceed two weeks’ worth of the shipper’s maximum base car allocation.

Outstanding producer cars orders must not exceed twice the car spot capacity of the loading site.

CN’s new rules include limits on the number of car order requests that will be received by the railway during periods when the demand for rail cars exceeds the supply.

“Ultimately, these changes are intended to promote more effective communication of week-to-week priorities among grain shippers, operators of unloading facilities and CN,” CN said in a Nov. 21 email.

CN said the new provisions will also reduce “phantom” car orders, in which shippers request more cars than they actually need.

SSRA members said some shippers may have placed speculative car orders, but short-line railway companies have never placed “phantom car” orders. Instead, there were car orders that were unfilled, severely delayed and eventually cancelled because of lack of service and lost sales opportunities.

Rail service to many short lines has improved since last winter, but shipping programs are still four months behind or more.

CWB, which depends on producer car grain for overseas sales, is rumoured to be trucking grain from some producer car loading sites because rail service to those sites is either too slow or unpredictable.

Short-line operators in Saskatchewan also expressed disappointment at Ottawa’s decision to extend minimum volume requirements until March 28.

Short-line operators and producer car loaders say federal regulations that require Class 1 carriers to haul minimum weekly tonnages have prompted CN and CP to haul more grain from highly efficient main-line elevator locations. At the same time, service to smaller shippers located on branch lines or short-line locations has suffered. brian.cross@producer.com

HOG RESEARCH | HEALTH

Time to rethink pigs’ nutritional needs: expert Iron deficiency | Piglets deficient in the nursery stage led to lighter weights and susceptibility to disease

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Increased productivity from modern pigs may result in more anemic animals, says a veterinarian.

Recommendations for iron supplementation were established decades ago, Robert Friendship of the University of Guelph told the recent Saskatchewan Pork Industry Symposium.

“Here’s another thing that we do day in and day out and we’ve always done it the same way,” he said.

“These sorts of things, we sometimes have to stand back once and a while and just question whether we

need to change it. Is it still doing the same job?”

Under current guidelines, piglets will receive 200 milligrams of iron supplementation within their first few days of life and receive more in rations once in the nursery a few weeks later.

“The pig is different than it was 35 years ago,” Friendship said in a later interview. “This isn’t a very obvious clinical anemia. It’s if you take the blood, they’re a little anemic.”

Friendship referred to a U of G study that surveyed piglets on 20 Ontario farms. In the pre-weaning group, the study found six percent of piglets were anemic. Three weeks

I think the level of anemia is high enough that people should think about doing things differently.

ROBERT FRIENDSHIP UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH

later, close to 20 percent were anemic and more than 40 percent were iron deficient.

“What surprised us is they’re a little anemic when they’re weaned and there’s even more of them that are anemic in the nursery,” he said.

“You think they’d be getting lots of iron in the feed and have rectified itself by then.”

Friendship said this could be because of poor iron absorption, pigs not eating well or complications with zinc oxide in the rations.

The anemic pigs in the nursery were about one kilogram lighter than other pigs. Deficiency can make the animal more susceptible to disease.

Friendship said the larger, fastest growing and most profitable animals that are at the highest risk. Pigs that are part of larger litters are also susceptible.

“I think the level of anemia is high enough that people should think

about doing things differently,” he said. “I suggested another injection at the time of weaning. It’s a straight, simple way to do it.”

Iron deficiency is determined through blood samples. Hemoglobin levels of less than 90 grams per litre are equated with anemia. Levels of 90 to 100 grams indicate deficiency.

“I would promote having a discussion with the veterinarian once and a while about the routine procedures and what’s working and maybe to assess whether everything is the way it should be or if there should be some fine-tuning,” said Friendship. dan .yates@producer.com

RAILWAY OPERATIONS | RECOMMENDATIONS

Farm groups suggest rail system improvements

BY BRIAN CROSS SASKATOON NEWSROOM

A coalition of farm groups based in Saskatchewan has issued a 39-page document suggesting far-reaching changes to the Canadian Transportation Act, the federal legislation that regulates railway operations in the country.

The document, released in Regina, is endorsed by a coalition of farm groups including Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, the Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission, the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission and the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan.

It contains nine recommendations, which according to the coalition are designed to foster rail competition, increase market transparency and ensure that producers have a stronger voice in Western Canada’s railway transportation system.

The document was submitted to the Canada Transportation Act review panel, which has been put in charge of reviewing the CTA and reporting back to Ottawa before the end of the year.

“The grain handling and transportation system has undergone substantial change, said APAS president Norm Hall, spokesperson for the coalition.

“Railways are centralizing their services and placing significant investments made by producers, short lines and producer car loading sites at risk.

“From the coalition’s perspective, if we are redesigning a transportation system that is clearly not working for producers, who is actively looking after producers’ interests?”

In a news release, coalition members claim that failure in the grain transportation and handling systems cost western Canadian grain producers more than $3 billion in the 201314 crop year.

Those same producers stand to lose another $2 billion in the 2014-15 crop year unless significant changes are made to the CTA and the relationship between farmers, grain shippers and

NORM HALL APAS PRESIDENT

railway companies.

There are several key recommendations in the coalition’s report: • The creation of a rail oversight group, which includes agricultural producer representation, to assess ongoing operations of the railways.

• Completion of a formal costing review and possible adjustments to the maximum revenue entitlement.

• Retention of the railway revenue entitlement, commonly known as revenue caps.

• New rules that ensure enhanced mandatory information reporting for the grain handling and transportation system.

• Improved mechanisms to resolve disputes over rail service.

• Enhanced provisions that encourage the use of running rights on Class 1 railway networks.

• Legislative changes that support small shipper innovation, diversification and investment in the railway network.

• Measures that ensure the unique needs of producer car shippers and short-line railways are being met.

• Changes that give the Canadian Transportation Agency more power to investigate and rule on railway decisions — including railway abandonment and producer car site delisting — that affect underserviced and unused rail lines in areas where other parties have expressed an interest.

Earlier this year, a federally appointed panel was put in charge of reviewing the Canadian Transportation Act. The panel is expected to complete its preliminary round of consultations with grain producers, exporters and agricultural shippers soon. brian.cross@producer.com

ALBERTA FEED | ACQUISITION

New-Life Mills closure aims for efficiency: Hi-Pro Feeds Lethbridge facility transition | Employees from the closed plant will move to Hi-Pro’s upgraded feed facility or Parrish and Heimbecker’s flour mill

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

Hi-Pro Feeds’ deal to buy New-Life Mills in Lethbridge was announced Nov. 26, and New-Life was permanently closed five days later.

The purchase, for an undisclosed sum, represents consolidation in the southern Alberta feed industry.

New-Life is a division of Parrish and Heimbecker, and its Lethbridge facility was adjacent to the company’s flour mill. It has been in business since 1964.

The Hi-Pro purchase is for the busi-

ness only, not the property.

Hi-Pro, with head offices in Okotoks, Alta., and a mill in Lethbridge, acquired feed business assets from Viterra in 2012. It has a network of 12 feed mills in the United States and Canada.

Holly Nicoll, marketing director for Hi-Pro Feeds, said feed formerly available at New-Life will now be produced at Hi-Pro’s Lethbridge facility.

“A large portion of (New-Life’s) business was poultry, then beef, followed by some swine and dairy.

Over at Hi-Pro, we have the ability to make the same products as what

New-Life has been producing for their customers.”

Hi-Pro has invested $4 million over the past three years at its Lethbridge mill, which included six new ingredient tanks, a new grinding system, two more hammer mills, an additional pelletting line and modernization of two other pellet mills.

Hi-Pro senior vice-president and founder Daren Kennett said in a news release that quality and efficiency are the watchwords.

“We are dedicated to ensuring that livestock producers in the region receive the highest quality animal

nutrition and expertise in the market,” he said.

New-Life employed 12 people, three of whom will now work for HiPro. They include former New-Life general manager Jassen Jackman and territory salespeople Sherry Zarowny and Doug Holt.

“Nobody is losing their job with this acquisition because we took the sales staff from the feed plant over to HiPro and then the rest of the employees are actually moving over to the flour mill at Parrish and Heimbecker,” said Nicoll.

One former New-Life employee

has chosen to retire and the other eight will continue at P & H. Information was sent to customers of New-Life and Hi-Pro in conjunction with announcement of the deal, and Nicoll said salespeople and Kennett have been meeting with larger customers to aid in what the company hopes will be a seamless transition.

Potential increases in feed costs are among the primary questions asked, said Nicoll. “What we’re striving to do is be more efficient and cost effective and we will continue to do that.” barb.glen@producer.com

A recent spike in the instances of heated canola has agronomists warning farmers to monitor their bins.

“If you see a rise in temperature, you need to be pulling out some of that canola and turning it to break up any hot spots as quickly as possible,” said Angela Brackenreed, an agronomist in Manitoba for the Canola Council of Canada.

Heated canola can go unnoticed for days or weeks and the canola council recommends using temperature cables in bins. Producers should also feel and smell the canola as it comes out of the bin.

“Heated canola has a fairly distinct smell to it,” said Brackenreed.

She said the weather can sometimes lead to heated canola, and conditions were not the best this fall.

“A lot of producers found their canola was not maturing and ended up having to, either out of necessity or not knowing, they ended up cutting it a little too early,” she said.

“There was fairly high green seed and fairy high moisture in some cases. Obviously, this can lead to problems in the bin.”

Brackenreed said frost did not help matters.

“It likely had something to do with the seed heating we’re seeing now.”

The exact number of heated canola bushels isn’t available, but Brackenreed said she has seen an influx of calls about heated canola, particularly in Manitoba.

“I have heard some folks at the elevators that they are seeing more samples of heated canola than usual,” she said.

Brackenreed said some elevators have reported receiving so much heated canola that they are unable to accept any more.

“It’s shocked everyone at how quickly the heated seeds did peak.”

NEWS GLOBAL OUTPUT | EXPECTATIONS

Corn crop production, consumption forecast higher Two million tonnes more | Grains council says better than average yields increased production LONDON, U.K. (Reuters) — The International Grains Council has raised its forecast for the 2014-15 world corn crop by two million tonnes, reflecting an increase in China’s crop.

However, it also raised its consumption forecast, resulting in only a one million tonne increase in yearend carryover stock estimates.

Global corn production was expected to total 982 million tonnes, up from a previous forecast of 980 million and just shy of the previous season’s record 984 million tonnes.

“The bulk of the 2014-15 northern hemisphere (corn) crop is now harvested and, with better than average yields in many countries, the world production forecast is increased,” the IGC said in a monthly report.

The corn crop in China was pegged at 216 million tonnes, up from a previous forecast of 213.8 million but still just below the previous season’s 218.5 million.

The increase was partially offset by a downward revision for Argentina, where a corn crop of 22.5 million tonnes is now expected. That is down from a previous estimate of 23 million and the previous season’s 24 million tonnes.

“Seeding in South America has so far progressed at a slower than average pace,” the IGC said.

“While output in Brazil and Argentina is expected to decline, much will depend on the final planting decisions and weather during the coming months.”

The global corn consumption forecasts for 2014-15 were increased by two million tonnes to 963 million tonnes.

“World demand is forecast to increase to record highs, driven by a three percent gain in feed consumption,” the IGC said.

It also cut its forecast for the 201415 global wheat crop by one million tonnes to 717 million, which is still a record and up from the previous season’s 713 million.

The downward revision was driven by a sharp cut to Algeria’s crop, which was pegged at just 1.9 million tonnes compared to a previous forecast of three million tonnes and the previous season’s 3.3 million.

Algeria’s grain harvest this year was hit by drought.

The IGC also projected that wheat area for the 2015-16 crop would rise by one percent, year-on-year.

RESEARCH | GMO

Traditional breeding boosted by genetics Gene research | Better understanding of how plants work aids conventional breeding PARIS, France (Reuters) — Advances in understanding the genetic makeup of plants could ultimately help produce more resilient, higheryielding crops, says the head of French seed company Limagrain.

Such a move ultimately has the potential to end the heated debate over genetic modification.

Distrust of crops produced using GMOs has marginalized the technology in Europe, where politicians recently moved closer to giving countries the ability to ban such crops even when they have regula-

tory clearance.

GM crops, which now account for about half of a global seed market estimated at US$40 billion, have divided opinion between proponents who cite improved yields at a time of shrinking natural resources and opponents who point to environmental risks, food safety concerns and unfair terms for farmers.

However, Limagrain president Jean-Yves Foucault said the controversy clouds the potential of plant gene research to bring improved results by traditional methods.

“If you get an intimate understanding of a plant, you may get answers via traditional selection without using GMOs,” Foucault said.

“GMOs are an important question, but one that shouldn’t be dramatized.”

Limagrain, a farmers co-operative that is the world’s fourth largest seed maker by sales through its subsidiary Vilmorin, sells GM crop varieties in the Western Hemisphere and is developing its own GM corn as it competes with larger rivals such as Monsanto.

However, the company still gener-

ates nearly two-thirds of its overall sales in Europe, where use of GM crops is minimal. Last year it achieved record sales of corn seed in Europe.

Researchers have mapped the genome of several crops and are working on deciphering that of wheat, the world’s most widely grown crop and one that has a particularly complex genetic makeup.

Vilmorin, like its peers, is working on GM wheat as part of the push to boost yields but has cautioned that a commercial launch is unlikely this decade.

BUSINESS | APPOINTMENT

Louis Dreyfus says ex-Viterra head ‘best person for the job’ New chief executive officer | Analyst says Mayo Schmidt’s involvement in negotiations with Glencore may signal a desire for acquisition skills PARIS, France (Reuters) — Louis Dreyfus Commodities has named Mayo Schmidt, former head of Viterra, as its new chief executive officer in the latest stage of a corporate shake-up at the 163-year-old global trading firm.

Louis Dreyfus is trying to sustain growth as the major grain companies vie with newcomers such as Glencore to acquire assets.

Schmidt’s appointment Nov. 28 was in line with the trading house’s preference for an external candidate and comes after it raised the possibility of a share listing or a tie-up with a partner in the future.

Traders and analysts said Schmidt’s track record of acquisitions at Viterra fitted with the company’s plans to expand more aggressively, although his appointment was a surprise because his name had not been cited in the market.

Schmidt, 57, oversaw the expansion of Viterra into Canada’s biggest grain handler during a 12-year reign before stepping down in 2012 when the Canadian firm was acquired by Glencore for $6.1 billion.

“Negotiating with Glencore on the sale of Viterra, he achieved an excellent price, and if Louis Dreyfus ever wants to IPO or sell part of their busi-

ness, he might be the right person to do it,” a European trader said.

Louis Dreyfus is a leading trader and processor of agricultural goods including sugar, rice, wheat and cotton. It says it wants to spend $4 billion over the next five years as it attempts to double its sales from nearly $64 billion last year.

The group recently turned to bond markets for the first time, with three issues in the past two years.

Margarita Louis-Dreyfus, who inherited control of the company when her husband, Robert, died in 2009, has overseen several leadership changes since long-standing

CEO Serge Schoen stepped down in June 2013.

“His (Schmidt’s) broad and global experience in the food industry, combined with his leadership skills, entrepreneurial attitude, strong business ethics and team-oriented mindset, make him the best person for the job,” she said in a statement.

Schmidt’s appointment breaks with a series of internal promotions and may mark a change of style at Louis Dreyfus.

“He’s known as hands-on. He’s not a European; he’s more North American and gets on with the job,” said James Dunsterville, an analyst at

Geneva-based AgFlow.

“They may be taking him on as someone who knows how to acquire companies.”

Schmidt built up Viterra by acquiring larger rival Agricore United and then Australia’s ABB Grain Ltd. Prior to Viterra, he held positions at U.S. food groups ConAgra Foods and General Mills.

He is currently on the board of Agrium Inc. Schmidt will assume his new role Jan. 5, taking over from interim CEO Claude Ehlinger, who will become deputy CEO in addition to his existing role of finance director.

WINTER CROPS | WEATHER

Warm fall may hurt EU wheat seedlings Cold temperatures needed to put crops into dormancy HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) — An exceptionally warm autumn and early winter have helped European Union wheat develop, but there is concern that growth may be too fast, making plants vulnerable to frost damage.

“Wheat sowings went well in most regions, so we have successfully jumped the first hurdle on the way to the 2015 harvest,” one trader said.

“But the remarkably warm weather may have pushed growth too far in several countries and if the winter suddenly turns very cold, frost damage could be a larger worry than usual.”

French consultancy Strategie Grains estimates the EU’s soft wheat acres at about the same as last year’s record 59.8 million acres, helped by good seeding weather.

France, the EU’s largest wheat producer, is among countries concerned that rapid growth could make wheat vulnerable to frost.

French farmers are hoping for slightly lower winter temperatures to put wheat into dormancy.

Meanwhile, the current crop picture is good, with 93 percent of French wheat rated in good or excellent condition compared to 83 percent a year earlier, farm agency FranceAgriMer said.

Strategie Grains estimates that France’s soft wheat area for 2015 harvesting will be unchanged from last year at 12.35 million acres.

Wheat has also grown unusually quickly in Germany.

One analyst said a slight increase is expected in Germany’s winter wheat area from the 7.66 million acres harvested this year, as farmers turn away from less profitable rapeseed.

In Britain, the Home-Grown Cereals Authority said the wheat area is expected to decline five percent as farmers turn to barley and pulses.

FARM AND FOOD CARE | AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY REPRESENTATION

Farm group revamps to encompass all sectors Educate consumers | The organization plans to take all aspects of food production under its wing

BY WILLIAM DEKAY SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Farm Animal Council of Saskatchewan has launched Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan in an effort to widen it focus and strengthen the gate to plate link.

FACS has represented the province’s livestock and poultry producers on responsible animal care since 1992.

The broader mandate is to build trust in food production while addressing the growing concern and awareness customers and consumers have about food and farming.

“We’ve seen over the last couple of years a shift in consumers’ interests with respect to farm and food and requests to information about farming,” said FACS executive director Adele Buettner.

“FACS took the leadership in introd u c i n g t h i s n e w o r ga n i z at i o n because FACS felt like it was time to expand their mandate.”

Buettner said there have been lengthy discussions at the FACS board level since February that asked the question, “should we have one organization in this province that represented all of food and farming; all of agriculture?” she said.

“The support was an overwhelming yes.”

Members serving on the FFC SK advisory committee include the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association, Saskatchewan Egg Producers, Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan, Sask Pork, SaskMilk, SaskFlax, Sask Barley, Sask Wheat, SaskCanola, Sask Pulse, the Saskatchewan agriculture ministry, Sask Bison, the

Chefs are very interested to have us organize it (culinary farm tours) so that they can meet and learn from the farmers about food production.

Buettner said FACS has mirrored the new organization after Farm and Food Care Ontario, which also originated as a farm animal council.

“Our board watched and said, ‘if they’re playing an important role in Ontario and if it’s serving both industries, maybe we need to look at that here too,’ ” she said.

Elections for the first board will take place in January.

The elected FFC SK board will include four representatives from the livestock industry and four from the crop industry. The elected board will appoint the remaining four members.

Buettner said all of the province’s main livestock and crop organizations have committed to work

together. They and the agriculture ministry have also made a financial commitment.

The interim board has approved a work plan based on three pillars: advocacy and intelligence, industry programs and services and public trust and outreach.

Less than two percent of Canadians have a direct connection to farming, which means effective communica-

tion between farms and consumers is more important than ever.

Buettner said the organization is striving to introduce producers to their customers and consumers to their food.

One example of this outreach involves working with the chefs’ association in Saskatoon and Regina, including plans for culinary farm tours next fall.

“Chefs are very interested to have us organize it so that they can meet and learn from the farmers about food production. When they create and speak to their customers they want to speak with knowledge about where that product and how that product is grown,” she said.

“They’ll have a good understanding from the seed to the bin what goes through a canola farm, a wheat farm, a barley farm as examples but also the livestock side, too.”

FFC SK was to have been officially launched Dec. 11. william.dekay@producer.com

AGRI-TREND FARM FORUM | MALTSTERS IN QUANDARY

Malting barley in short supply Carryover is low and none is quality crop: Cargill Malt

BY ROBYN TOCKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The demand for malting barley may be increasing, but the amount being produced has put Canada in a tough situation.

At the Agri-Trend Farm Forum held in Saskatoon Dec. 3, Lorelle Selinger addressed what the lack of barley means for Canada, and North America as a whole.

“In a normal year, Canada would export at least one billion tonnes of quality malt barley. But a year like this, Canada will export 30,000 outside of North America,” she said.

“Not only do we have the lowest carryover, we have the lowest carryover and none of it is quality malt barley.”

Selinger works at Cargill Malt as the North American merchandising manager.

While yields this year weren’t horrible, she said most of the barley gathered was unusable.

“I anticipate we could be importing up to 500,000 tonnes of barley for malting purposes, primarily because we just can’t find it here.”

Selinger said moisture played a

major role in the decline.

“We had way more moisture than we’re used to and it definitely affected all our crops.”

The United States faced a similar problem. Many growing regions there saw 400 to 745 percent more than normal precipitation during harvest.

Yet Selinger said it’s the decline in barley acres that is having the biggest impact. From 2003-12, Canadian farmers have severely cut their barley acres.

“In Canada, we had 12.3 million acres. This past year, we had just over 6.1 (million),” she said.

Selinger said canola is one reason for that drop.

“It’s taken place in rotation and moved a lot of people from three year rotations to four year, or from two to three year. It’s taken barley out that extra year,” she said.

The acreage shortage makes it difficult to build barley back up after such a tough year.

Selinger said she doesn’t believe the trend of decreased acres is going to change anytime soon. robyn.tocker@producer.com

NEWS FOOD SAFETY | PATHOGENS

Sanitizer destroys pathogens on raw food Ideal for seeds, spices, nuts

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

Consumers suffer from a food safety and knowledge gap when it comes to eating raw food.

They don’t know it could hurt them.

It’s a gap that the start-up company Agri-Neo wants to fill.

Agri-Neo believes that processors and consumers will soon want guarantees that raw grains are as safe as cooked food.

“Anything that’s on there can make you sick,” said Agri-Neo president Rob Wong, who was promoting his company’s product, Neo-Pure, at the Canadian Hemp Trade Alliance’s annual convention Nov. 18.

Neo-Pure is a sanitizer that kills microscopic pathogens that can cause food poisoning.

Most pathogens are killed when food is cooked, but raw food, such as hemp and other seeds and salad ingredients, aren’t heat-treated.

Wong said most consumers don’t realize how dangerous raw foods can be.

“What we saw is a lot of issue with respect to potential contamination by bacteria and fungi that could be harmful if people ate it,” he said.

Neo-Pure is made from natural ingredients that are refined into a powder and mixed with water. The solution is then sprayed onto seeds as a mist.

Wong said the product kills pathogens on the surface and inside the seed, making it safe to eat.

“Once it does that, it biodegrades right away, which is obviously very important. You don’t want to leave any residues on your food product,” said Wong.

The company has tested the product on “hundreds of tonnes” of pathogenladen hemp seed and returned it to food-grade status.

Wong said his company thinks it would be as effective for any raw seed products, such as chia, flax, spices and nuts.

Wong and Agri-Neo chief executive officer Nick Dillon also attended the recent Agri Innovation Forum in Winnipeg to pitch their company to venture capitalists.

They were looking for $2 to $3 million to commercialize Neo-Pure and research two other products: Neo-X, a biopesticide designed to replace synthetic pesticides, and Neo-Boost, a bio-fungicide.

Wong said Neo-Pure is well positioned to sell to healthy food and ethnic markets because it is organic, halal, kosher and hazard analysis and critical control points certified and leaves no residue.

MANITOBA FLOODING | FUNDING CUTS

Man. premier in hot seat on flood mitigation Lack of government support | Provincial contribution to water retention projects down 12 percent

BY ED WHITE WINNIPEG BUREAU

A supporter of faltering local efforts to control drainage and flooding in rural Manitoba has issued a plea to the provincial government.

“Does the province of Manitoba not realize that every small dam and water retention project that we do is in fact flood mitigation?” Heather Dalgleish challenged premier Greg Selinger and his cabinet during the Association of Manitoba Municipalities’ bear pit session.

“In a time when surface water man-

agement and water quality is critical, we have had a core reduction in our funding, and it is going to destroy our program if the province does not step up to the plate and bump us back at least to where we were two years ago.”

Conservation districts are locally based organizations that oversee drainage networks. In recent years, they have also turned their focus on ensuring local drainage doesn’t cause downstream flooding.

Many have installed structures to stop water flushing off farm fields into rivers and lakes.

The districts use funding from municipalities and other organizations, which has traditionally been matched three to one by the provincial government.

However, Dalgleish said the government has cut its conservation district support by 12 percent, which is jeopardizing efforts to persuade more municipalities and organizations to fund these initiatives.

“We heard very, very strongly that we’re at risk of losing some of our member partners,” said Dalgleish.

“It’s very disheartening.”

Selinger said he recognizes the

work of conservation districts, which are a cheap way to reduce flooding.

“They’ve done excellent work over the years,” said Selinger. “It is very cost-effective what you do, and it does make a gigantic difference.” ed.white@producer.com

FARMING SMARTER CONFERENCE | BEEF MARKETING

EGG CAMPAIGN | SURVEY

Burger chain wants more Canadian beef

Consumers shape chain’s breakfast

No hormones, steroids | A&W says its campaign has enticed consumers back to eating burgers

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

MEDICINE HAT, Alta. — A&W does not use hamburger derived from cull cows.

As well, it continues to buy some of the meat for its Canadian burgers from the United States and Australia.

Queried by producers during a Dec. 3 Farming Smarter conference, A&W purchasing vice-president Trish Sahlstrom said the fast food chain uses beef from animals younger than 36 months because it is the only available classification that guarantees cull cows are not used.

“We do not use cull cows, and we never have,” said Sahlstrom.

The point speaks to criticism from some in the cattle industry about A&W’s “better beef ” campaign, which claims the beef used in hamburgers contains no added hormones or steroids.

Cull cows would not be given either one.

Sahlstrom said the company is unable to find enough product in Canada to meet its specifications.

She declined to specify what percentage of A&W’s beef is bought in this country, noting only that “it’s not near enough.”

It was about giving consumers what they were asking for, so we didn’t need to call it better beef. But it is the handle that has stuck, certainly, for the beef industry.

TRISH SAHLSTROM A&W PURCHASING VICE-PRESIDENT

She said high beef prices might be working against the company’s goals to buy more product in Canada because producers are making money without altering their usual production methods.

Sahlstrom said feedlots are more of an impediment than packers for that reason.

However, she said she is meeting with some of the country’s largest feedlot operators to encourage production of animals without using growth implants.

Many smaller producers have proven willing to supply the type of beef that A&W wants.

However, packing facilities must be federally inspected, and that is

not the case for most smaller plants that handle fewer animals.

Sahlstrom said the company must have a way to verify its beef claims, so it buys from places that can provide that verification.

Spring Creek of Vegreville does this in Alberta, as does Meyer of Montana in the United States and Teys in Australia.

Sahlstrom said she is aware of the ire that her company’s “better beef” campaign has raised in the beef industry.

“The beef industry did come out very strongly, initially, and say, ‘we feel that in its comparison, it is suggesting everything else isn’t good,’ ” she said. “That wasn’t our intention,

but if it made people feel badly or feel that they somehow were being put down by us for what they did … that wasn’t what our campaign was about.

“It was about giving consumers what they were asking for, so we didn’t need to call it better beef. But it is the handle that has stuck, certainly, for the beef industry.”

Sahlstrom said current ads make no mention of “better beef,” but instead follow consumers’ lead in specifically addressing the absence of added hormones and steroids.

As for the use of Australian product, she made no apology.

“In Australia, we were met with open arms. They were thrilled and delighted to supply that beef to us.

That’s a common specification for them. We still absolutely count on outside of Canada to meet our beef needs.”

In contrast, Sahlstrom said the company found little interest among Canadian suppliers when it approached them about providing the desired product.

“Today, we’re selling more beef and we’re having our people tell us that they are coming back to eating burgers. It really has been a very good news story for our customers.”

MEDICINE HAT, Alta. — When A&W asked consumers what they wanted in their eggs, it instead found out what consumers don’t want.

They said they didn’t want eggs from chickens fed antibiotics or animal byproducts.

In August, Canada’s second largest burger chain launched Nature’s Best to promote its use of eggs produced in compliance with those wishes.

“Our breakfast sales have grown in double digit percentages in the weeks since,” said Trish Sahlstrom, the company’s vice-president of purchasing.

A&W followed that with a promotion about its use of chicken raised without hormones and fed an allvegetarian diet.

Chickens by nature are omnivores, and most egg producers do not use animal-derived protein in feed.

Finding supplies of eggs and chickens to meet those specifications was difficult but not as challenging as the search for beef, said Sahlstrom. Canadian producers were willing to provide the desired product.

Sahlstrom said the eggs, chicken and beef used in A&W food is more expensive, but sales have increased since the latest promotions began.

2 YEAR 0% INTEREST ON MOST NEW COMBINES 2 YEAR 0% INTEREST ON USED SWATHERS

Test-drive a 9500 Series combine.

OBITUARY | THOMAS ACKERMANN

Industry promoter remembered for love of bison Also a people person | Friends say he was a good listener

BY MARY MACARTHUR CAMROSE BUREAU

Thomas Ackermann, an energetic promoter of the bison industry, died in a farm accident Nov. 27. He was 46.

Ackermann was chief executive officer and marketing manager of Canadian Rangeland Bison and Elk, chair of Bison Producers of Alberta and vice-president of the Canadian Bison Association.

“He was unbelievably dedicated to the Canadian bison industry,” said Armin Mueller, his friend and business partner.

“Bison were his life, his dreams.”

Mueller first met Ackermann at the Wildrose Yodel Club, a Swiss men’s yodelling and singing club in Lacombe, Alta.

Both men were from Switzerland and both shared a love of bison, westerns and the Old West.

Mueller hired Ackermann to be marketing manager of his Canadian Rangeland Bison and Elk business and later they became business partners in Green Horizons, a bison cowcalf and feeding business.

“He was a good people person and a good listener. He had all the charisma I was lacking,” Mueller said.

Ackermann helped expand Canadian Rangelands’ export business, particularly in Switzerland.

Ackermann’s wife, Keri, who grew up in Canada, said her husband was more Canadian than she was.

His Canadian citizenship ceremony was one of the few times she saw him cry, she said.

“He was exceptionally proud and happy to become a Canadian.”

The two met while Ackermann was working on a farm near Cut Knife, Sask., as an agriculture exchange student and she was going to school in Lloydminster.

They kept bumping into each other at events, and when he returned to Switzerland they wrote letters as pen pals for three years before deciding to get married.

Keri said her husband always knew he wanted to be a farmer, and his time in Canada as an exchange student cemented his desire to be a Canadian farmer.

“He fell in love with the country.”

Keri said her husband thought bison were majestic animals and often told her that he would rather herd 1,000 buffalo than 10 cows.

It was like he could read the bison’s silent signals and understood how they moved and acted, she said.

The Ackermann family have their own cattle herd, and their three daughters are members of a local beef 4-H club.

During one bison annual meeting, Ackermann had members of the 4-H club give the speeches they had prepared for the local public speaking competition.

His three daughters, Mikeala, Kiria and Jenna, were his love, said Mueller.

“They were his princesses, but he didn’t treat them like royalty. It was unbelievable the love he had for his girls.”

Days before he died, Ackermann was nominated to replace Mark Siltzer as head of the Canadian Bison

Association. The two visited at the Canadian Bison Association meeting in Regina and talked about how Ackermann would take over as head of the association.

“This came as a horrible shock to everyone,” said Siltzer.

Ackermann’s easy-going manner and ability to listen closely were important for the growing industry.

“He tried to understand every side by hearing both sides of the story. He took a balanced approach,” said Siltzer. “He was very approachable and easy to talk to.”

Bison producer Ivan Smith of Penhold, Alta., has agreed to serve in his place on the CBA board.

Linda Saunter, manager of Bison Producers of Alberta, said Ackermann was enthusiastic in all the projects he took on for the industry.

“He was so positive in making so many changes.”

Sauntner and Ackermann were working on three Alberta Livestock and Meat Agency projects that would benefit the entire industry. They were also changing the Wild Rose Auction from live to online.

“He was really excited about it,” she said. “We feel he was a very proactive and integral part of our industry.”

A memorial service for Ackerman was scheduled for Dec. 9 in Lacombe.

A trust account has been established for his children at the Alberta Treasury Branch. mary.macarthur@producer.com

FLAX COUNCIL OF CANADA | PRODUCTION

Rebounding acres, higher levy ease financial pressure Recovering from downturn | Flax council president says group may consider lower levy

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Flax Council of Canada is on better financial footing thanks to a levy increase and a rebound in acres.

Acres plummeted after the 2009 discovery of an unwanted GM flax variety in the seed supply decimated sales to Europe.

A market that accounted for twothirds of Canadian flax exports before the discovery of CDC Triffid is now consuming about one-quarter of what Canada ships.

The crop peaked at two million acres in 2006 but plummeted to 740,000 acres in 2011. That had major ramifications for the council’s annual budget.

The national commodity group is funded by a levy collected from North American crushers and Canadian processors and exporters.

The council doubled the levy to $2 per tonne effective April 1, 2012, to help offset plunging flax production in the post-Triffid era.

Its annual operating revenues of about $750,000 had been halved.

“That was just to survive. If we didn’t have this money, we would have been in big trouble,” said president Don Kerr.

The levy hike has improved the

c o u n c i l’s f i na n c e s, a s ha s t h e rebound in acres. Growers planted 1.56 million acres this year, which is the most since they seeded 1.69 million acres in 2009, the year of the Triffid incident.

More acres means more production, which means more levy revenue.

Kerr said the financial picture has improved to the point where the council is considering gradually reducing the levy back to $1 per tonne.

That topic will be discussed during the next couple of board meetings. The council is also considering revamping its $200 annual membership by creating three or four levels of contribution depending on the size of the contributing company.

The levy paid by crushers, processors and exporters is voluntary, and there is a 60 percent compliance rate.

“We’re going to try to get that compliance rate up. That’s one of my jobs,” Kerr told Agri-Trend’s 2014 Farm Forum Event.

The council needs levy revenue to fund research projects. The only way to get federal government support these days is for a commodity group to provide half the funding.

Canadian flax production dropped to less than one million acres following the Triffid crisis, significantly affecting revenue at the Flax Council of Canada, which depends on levies. | FILE PHOTO first base with an application,” said Kerr.

He plans to publish a list of levy contributors on the council’s new web page within a couple of months to boost compliance rates.

He will also encourage growers to do business with the 60 percent who are paying the levy.

“These companies that are paying the levy are the companies that are allowing us to pursue these programs and if you’re not paying the levy,

you’re not buying into that,” said Kerr.

The council’s finances may have improved, but there are still threats on the horizon.

Archer Daniels Midland, a U.S. customer that accounts for 28 perc e nt o f Ca na d a’s f l a x e x p o r t s, recently bought 25,000 tonnes of flax from Kazakhstan rather than Canada.

It is cheaper for the flax to travel by rail across Russia to a port in the Bal-

tic Sea, by boat across the North Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico and by barge up the Mississippi River to ADM’s plant in Minneapolis than it is to ship it from Canada because of North America’s rail logistics problems.

It means the council just lost $50,000 in much needed levy revenue because ADM is a faithful levy contributor. sean.pratt@producer.com

Flax group to tout health claim Website launching | Group can link flax consumption to lower cholesterol

BY SEAN PRATT SASKATOON NEWSROOM

The Flax Council of Canada is weeks away from launching a new website to promote its recently attained health claim from Health Canada.

The healthyflax.org website will tell consumers and health-care professionals about the proven benefits of eating flax.

The council announced in January that Health Canada had accepted its claim that eating ground whole flax can lower cholesterol.

“There are only 11 health claims that have been issued in Canada,” council president Don Kerr told AgriTrend’s 2014 Farm Forum Event.

One of those is that eating oat bran reduces cholesterol, which has done wonders for the oat industry.

“General Mills took that health claim and got everybody in the world, almost, to eat Cheerios,” said Kerr.

“It was a big advantage and a big opportunity for the oat market.”

He hopes the flax claim will have a similar impact once word gets out that eating five tablespoons of ground flax a day lowers blood cholesterol.

However, five tablespoons is a lot of ground flax, so the council’s message to consumers will be that eating two tablespoons, or 16 grams, a day supplies 40 percent of the amount of flax required to help lower cholesterol.

“That’s a little bit more practical for most consumers,” said Kerr.

“What I do is I put it in my yogurt, and it actually improves the taste.”

The council is developing four prototype products that offer consumers 13 grams of flax per serving. They are bread, muffins, dry smoothie mix and nutrition bars.

Kerr is also excited about research conducted by Grant Pierce, executive director of research at St. Boniface General Hospital in Winnipeg.

In his study, heart disease patients were fed 30 grams of milled flax each day over six months.

“These people were in bad shape.

They had heart problems. They had cholesterol problems. They had plaque in their arteries,” said Kerr.

Patients on the flax diet lowered their systolic blood pressure, which is the top number in a blood pressure reading, by 10 millimetres of mercury and their diastolic blood pressure

by seven mm. That is a better result than any of the top three blood pressure medications on the market.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, kills four times as many people as high cholesterol. An estimated 30 percent of Americans have high blood pressure, and half of women older than 60 take anti-hypertensive medication.

It would be a huge coup if the flax industry could get a health claim about lowering blood pressure, but Kerr said 30 grams is a lot of flax.

More research is needed on the impact that eating lower amounts would have, but the council doesn’t have funding for that. sean.pratt@producer.com

RESEARCH | DISEASE

Resistant canola may be no match for new clubroot Don’t panic yet | Cultivars still appear to be resistant in most fields, says agronomist

BY DAN YATES SASKATOON NEWSROOMS

Alberta officials are investigating further evidence that existing clubroot resistant canola cultivars are vulnerable to a new strain of the disease.

The strain was discovered last year after materials were collected from six fields in the Edmonton area that showed higher-than-normal disease incidence.

From that, Stephen Strelkov of the University of Alberta was able to determine the presence of a new strain in one field.

Further survey work conducted this year identified more problem fields in the Edmonton area that were seeded to clubroot resistant varieties.

“There’s definitely some suspicion that there’s more fields where the resistance doesn’t appear to be as strong as expected,” said Dan Orchard, an agronomy specialist with the Canola Council of Canada.

The clubroot resistance trait has been available since 2009 and has performed well for farmers.

“They quickly became the most important clubroot management tool,” said Strelkov.

“In some cases, I would say the only clubroot management tool being used by some farmers.”

Spread of the soil-borne disease has been prolific, and many vectors have been identified, including trucks and soil.

Strelkov said during a canola industry meeting in Saskatoon last week that clubroot has now been confirmed in more than 1,800 fields in 31 counties since it was first found in central Alberta more than a decade ago.

“The varieties are doing what they’re supposed to in terms of they’re resistant against what they’re bred to be resistant for,” he said in an interview.

“The only issue that we have happen is that by growing those varieties in a very short rotation in some fields, I think we’ve selected for strains of the pathogen that maybe were really present at very low levels.… We’ve shifted the pathogen population to make these new pathogens, these new strains more common or more prevalent.”

The farmer at the site of the confirmed case had been employing a two-year, canola-cereal rotation.

“From what the producer has told us to date is that it seemed to be the third time he went into clubroot resistant cultivar on this field that he had the issue with it,” said Maureen Vadnais, program manager with the Agriculture Service Board.

The site has several restrictions placed on it under the province’s Agricultural Pests Act. Access to the field is restricted to

the farmer, provincial officials and researchers, and strict cleaning protocols must be used when leaving the field, said Vadnais.

The field can still be farmed, but officials are enforcing a one-in-four year canola rotation.

“The farmer has been really excellent to work with, and we really appreciate his co-operation,” said Vadnais.

Strelkov is analyzing the materials collected from other fields this year.

He said more information about the possible spread of the new strain should be available by spring.

Other work he’s done has identified that all western Canadian varieties are susceptible to the new strain.

An integrated management strategy is necessary to maintain resistance, he added.

Producers are encouraged to knock soil off vehicles leaving fields, clean equipment, plant resistant varieties and extend rotations in clubroot areas.

“I think it’s something to be concerned (about). I think there’s no need to necessarily panic right now because the resistance seems to be effective in most fields,” he said.

“If this were to become widespread or the resistance breakdown occurred in multiple fields over a large area, it might be difficult to get other products that have as good resistance.… We don’t want to go back to Step 1 again where we’re just recommending don’t grow canola.

It’s the most important tool that we have and we certainly don’t want to lose it.”

Orchard said producers’ rotation decisions should depend on their location and field history.

“The guys that shorten the rotation, there’s opportunities if you’re not in a clubroot region and you haven’t had issues with blackleg and you’ve done your due diligence and you haven’t had that much canola on that piece of land,” he said.

Isolated incidents of clubroot have been found in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and North Dakota, but its presence has largely been contained to Alberta.

Shorter, two-year rotations aren’t always recommended but are commonly used by farmers in Western Canada. A field coming out of hayland without any cruciferous weeds and no history of canola is a good candidate for a shorter rotation, said Orchard.

“In a disease pressure area like the greater central Alberta, that’s not a recommended rotation, for sure, and if there’s clubroot identified on your farm, then it’s the one in four rotation that we think is much more sustainable and that’s usually the regulation and enforcement for most of the counties.” dan .yates@producer.com

Under Alberta’s Agricultural Pests Act, a field found to have clubroot is placed under restricted access and strict cleaning protocols must be used when leaving the field. | FILE PHOTO

Because “Good Enough” Isn’t Good Enough.

We don’t have to build each product stronger and heavier than it needs to be. We don’t have to offer everything in multiple configurations and sizes to meet farmers’ unique needs.

Restrictions remain in new UAV rules Radio controlled aircraft | Operators of larger drones will still have to carry certification

BY ROBYN TOCKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Changes to Canada’s unmanned aerial vehicle regulations seem less strict, but they still have a long way to go to catch up to the technology, says a UAV manufacturer.

“Because of the laws, it makes it almost impossible to do anything without so many restrictions,” Ben Parry told Agritrend’s 2014 Farm Forum Event in Saskatoon last week.

UAVs, also known as drones, have a long list of applications, such as conducting road surveys for the construction industry, checking lines in the oil and gas sector and selling farms and acreages.

“These technologies are advancing so fast and the government is so far behind. It’s frustrating,” Parry said.

One of the biggest problems with the old regulations was that they required a special flight certificate.

Parry said it was difficult to meet the requirements because “there really wasn’t a template or much knowledge.”

“You would have to go to someone like myself who’s researched it or someone who understands what Transport Canada exactly needs to get passed.”

Scott Comfort knows all about the difficulties of applying for a special flight certificate. He said applicants would fill out the two-page form and then wait.

“It said on the website you will hear back about the certificate in 20 days,” he said.

“When you actually put in the application, it was going to be two to three months before you received it.”

Comfort, who works as an agricultural and residential realtor for Remax, said drones would have been useless if he had to wait that long for a certificate so he could show the farms and acreages he sells.

Comfort uses blanket certificates so he can fly his drone over as many properties as he wants without having to reapply every time.

A SkyHawk-1 drone flies above prairie farmland. | The new regulations include exemptions from requiring a certificate.

“It allows people to get in the air quicker if they have small units,” said Parry.

“If you can go under 2.1 kilograms, you pretty much need no permission, so long as you fly safely.”

Parry said manufacturers can look at the regulations and determine how big the drones need to be, especially if the user doesn’t want to apply for a certificate.

“It sounds like they’ll be pretty flexible on these smaller drones, like mine,” said Comfort.

The basic rules listed on Transportation Canada’s website must be followed with or without a certificate.

They include flying only during the day with good weather, making sure the aircraft is safe before takeoff and knowing when a special certificate is required.

Parry said the new regulations seem easier for consumers to follow, but there are potential problems.

BEN PARRY PHOTO

For example, flyers would no longer be able to fly their drones above people if they’re flying at less than 400 feet.

“Before, at 400 feet, if you were up that high it wasn’t a big deal as long as those people were aware of what’s going on.”

He said this would affect some companies.

As well, problems still exist with the larger drones, which can be necessary for jobs such as conducting a vegetation index survey or tracking cattle.

Farmers who want to operate these kinds of drones will still have to apply for a special certificate.

He said average users want a “turnkey, off-the-shelf solution.” They don’t necessarily know all the facts that Transport Canada expects them to know, including an understanding of aviation laws, air space and aviation safety.

Part of the problem in the past was that UAV owners were being tested on the same material that a pilot would need to know. UAV Owners, of course, aren’t pilots.

UAV RULES • Permission is needed from Transport Canada if the UAV weighs less than 35 kilograms and the aircraft isn’t used for work or research.

• Operators don’t need permission but must meet the exemption requirements if their UAV weighs two kg or less and they can meet the exemption requirements.

• Operators who can meet the exemption requirements for UAVs between 2.1 and 25 kg don’t need permission, but they must meet the exemption requirements and give Transport Canada their contact information, UAV model,

description of model and geographical boundaries of operation.

• A special flight operations certificate is needed if: — The UAV is used for work or research and weighs more than 25 kg.

— The UAV is not used for work or research but weighs more than 35 kg.

— The operator can’t meet the exemption requirements for UAVs that weight two kg or less and if it weighs two kg or less but the operator can’t meet the exemption requirements for UAVs between 2.1 and 25 kg.

“But because of the laws, they wanted it that way. Now, they’re trying to refine it.”

Parry said the current laws aren’t permanent. Instead, they are only in effect until 2016.

“They’re doing a test bench to see how this works out. From that point

they will start changing things based on what happened.”

DAIRY BARN | MILK TESTING

Herd Navigator collects data, enables quick medical attention On-farm diagnostic lab | Information helps producers with management decisions

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

WOODSTOCK, Ont. — Herd Navigator can help producers by automating the busy tasks of laboratory style tests.

It can asses the health of the herds by examining the milk of each cow.

“It’s a lab on the farm,” says Nancy Charlton, a veterinarian and herd management specialist for DeLaval.

“When the cows arrive to our robots, or DeLaval ALPRO parlours, they are automatically sampled and tested. Results come in a simple format into your computer, to tell you which cows need your attention today, tomorrow or the next day.”

Twenty-seven farms use Herd Navigator, which was launched by DeLaval Canada in 2012.

A blue box is installed on a wall inside the barn, and each milking robot or ALPRO parlour is fitted with

a milk sampler. The blue box is the systems diagnostic lab and tests milk.

The parlours will have 12 samplers if it’s a double six or 32 samplers if it’s a double 16.

The Herd Navigator software identifies a cow when it comes in to be milked and decides if it will be tested based on the parameters that are set in the computer program.

The diagnostic lab can test milk samples for progesterone, ketosis, urea and an enzyme indicating udder health.

“A cow may come in and be tested for nothing, she may come in and be tested for two out of the four, three out of the four, or four out of the four.

It depends on where she is in her lactation” Charlton said at DeLaval’s exhibit in the research barn at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock last summer.

She said finding cows in heat is one of the key issues facing producers,

NANCY CHARLTON VETERINARIAN

which they do using synchronization programs.

This method yields positive results when done properly, she added, but synchronizations programs have their limitations.

“From what I see with Herd Navigator, though, these cows can be tricky,” she said. “Sometimes they do show activity when they’re not in heat, and other times they are dead silent and quiet when they’re going through their ovulation period.”

Herd Navigator automatically detects if a cow is in heat because it

tests for progesterone, which is an endogenous steroid hormone.

Charlton said the information that Herd Navigator creates is ideal for producers who want to collect as much information as possible when monitoring their herd so that they can make better decisions and improve the operation.

However, the Herd Navigator doesn’t have to be complicated.

“Most of us will present you with your reports: here’s the cows to go inseminate, here’s the cows that need ketosis treatment, here’s the cows for

culturing and here’s a look at where we’re going with our protein and the milk urea nitrogen,” Charlton said.

The program’s price tag depends on the milking operation in which it will be integrated.

Return on investment largely comes from the changes that the program helped operators make in their barns.

GRAIN BINS | CLEANING

Flat bottom bin retrofit makes clean out easy

BY ROBIN BOOKER SASKATOON NEWSROOM

Cleaning flat bottom bins is a timeconsuming and dirty job, but producers are grateful for any storage capacity at hand when a big crop is harvested.

Haukaas has designed a bin floor pit that retrofits flat bottom bins with its bin sweep system, allowing the bins to be operated more efficiently.

Beric Haukaas, sales and marketing representative at Haukaas Manufacturing, said it’s an economical solution to flat bottom storage and an alternative to hopper bottom bins.

“You simply remove a centre portion of the floor and install the floor pit,” Haukaas said.

“There is a permanently mounted bin sweep left inside the bin that you

BERIC HAUKAAS HAUKAAS MANUFACTURING

would dump grain over top of.”

Producers who are emptying a bin insert an auger through the door and into the Haukaas pit once the grain level is low enough. They then attach an orbital motor to the sweep to finish the job.

“What we do on our farm is let the sweep go around the bin once, and we stop it,” Haukaas said.

“Then we take a shovel and we scrape the grain away from the side of the wall, about two feet.”

The sweep is then engaged a sec-

ond time, and operators follow it with a broom, sweeping leftover grain into the pit.

He said only a pail of grain needs to be removed from the pit once the sweep’s second pass is completed.

“Roughly on a 19 foot diameter bin floor, we can successfully clean it out ready for next season in about 25 minutes.”

AGRONOMY | RESEARCH

Trials examine management practices, fungicides, UAN Wheat, barley studied | Effects of a second fungicide application and factors affecting growth regulators were tested

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

MEDICINE HAT, Alta. — A 30 bushel per acre wheat yield increase from a second fungicide application?

Few farmers would turn that down.

Sheri Strydhorst’s research achieved that result at several sites this past crop year, but a few provisos are attached.

Strydhorst, an agronomic research scientist with Alberta Agriculture, said the stellar results came on plots where the wheat variety was susceptible to disease and weather was conducive to disease pressure.

“But did it pay? Probably not as well as what a single well-timed application would have,” she said.

“Everyone wants to break yield barriers, of course, but to do it on large acres you have to have the economics guiding you as well.”

One site year of data is not enough to guide producers, and Strydhorst has just finished the first of a threeyear project that will examine in-crop supplemental UAN, plant growth regulators and foliar fungicides in both wheat and barley.

She will have 15 site years of data once she completes the studies, which examine 48 combinations of management practices in wheat and 64 different ones in barley at Magrath, High River, Killam, Bon Accord and

Alberta trials showed yield increases with a second fungicide application but more research is needed to guide producers, says an expert. | FILE PHOTO Falher in Alberta.

She is also testing 14 barley fungicide management practices.

Last year’s trials on wheat have given her slightly more data.

Strydhorst said she was surprised to see the big increase in wheat yields this year following a second fungicide application.

An application at flag leaf is generally assumed to give 14 days of protection. A second pass 14 days after the first one resulted in the yield boost.

Results from plant growth regulators also proved interesting. Yields increased at several sites where one product was tested, even though growth regulators are designed for harvest management. She said some manufacturers make yield claims on their growth regulators.

“Problem is, how consistently does that happen?” said Strydhorst.

“Because plant growth regulators are kind of finicky and they interact with a plant’s hormonal system, they can do wacky things when combined with other agronomic practices.

“My job is to make mistakes on a small plot so they’re not made on a large scale. And if we consistently see a trend, then we can warn farmers against that certain practice so they don’t have a yield and economic loss from them.”

Results from supplemental UAN were highly dependent on precipitation totals for each of the sites. Those with little moisture obviously did not benefit from extra nitrogen.

Less data is available on barley, so Strydhorst said she has less confidence in results at this early stage.

However, fungicide modes of action and timing showed that the decision to spray was often more important than fine-tuning the application.

Strydhorst’s project is an offshoot of the Wheat 150 and Barley 180 field trials in Alberta, which hope to achieve those numbers in bushels per acre.

The trials tested the same three management practices that Strydhorst is using.

“I think one of the problems with the Wheat 150 and the Barley 180 … is the yield potential across Western Canada just isn’t there because we do have moisture limiting our yield in so many of the regions,” she said.

Strydhorst, who discussed her early findings at the Farming Smarter conference Dec. 2, said wheat provides 20 percent of humanity’s calories and

wheat demand increases by 1.7 percent every year.

Wheat crop productivity will have to rise markedly if the world expects to meet the calorie needs of nine billion people by 2050.

It now increases 1.1 percent per year globally and 1.4 percent per year in Western Canada.

She said crop breeding will make up some of the needed increase, but advanced agronomic practices will also play a major role.

FOOD SECURITY | INCREASING PRODUCTION

GM rice doesn’t address poverty, lack of biodiversity ORGANIC MATTERS

BRENDA FRICK

G

olden rice is a product of genetically modified technology that is offered as a solution to vitamin D deficiency for poor people in Africa and South Asia.

On first glance it is a public relations dream for the GMO community, but I think there are far more benefits in an organic, ecosystem approach.

Before golden rice, the benefits of GM crops were targeted toward farmers: herbicide resistance or inclusion of systemic pesticides.

However, golden rice is targeted at the public and food aid community.

Vitamin A deficiency is devastating among people who depend on rice as their only major food source. The deficiency leads to night blindness, delayed development, total blindness and eventually death. It is a widespread failure of the food system for the poor.

True, making rice more nutritious might prevent specific deficiencies, but how much more appropriate would it be to reduce these people’s dependence on rice as their only food.

The core issue here is not that rice is insufficiently nutritious. The real problem is that rice is the sole food source for vulnerable people.

“For vulnerable rural families, for instance in Africa and Southeast Asia, growing fruits and vegetables in home gardens complements dietary diversification and fortification and contributes to better lifelong health,” says the World Health Organization Many vegetables and fruits provide vitamin A or its precursors. They also offer many additional nutritional benefits.

Organic methods of growing food are widely recognized as offering the best potential to increase yields on small holdings without poisoning the food and the environment and relying on expensive first world inputs.

Organic farming also offers a supplementary approach for larger holdings. Eliminating herbicides and pesticides in rice paddies may reduce rice yields but would allow farmers to harvest a more diverse range of products.

Diversity has a number of benefits.

A diverse diet is considered ideal for maintaining optimal health. This is true for people, and it is true in ecosystems.

A range of harvestable “weeds” would be one benefit. Leafy greens are particularly nutritious additions to a carbohydrate-based diet. Many weeds are especially rich in nutrients, such as beta-carotene, vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants.

Some of the plants we consider weeds have a long cultural history of use as food plants.

Another benefit from replacing herbicides and pesticides with organic methods is that paddies might provide aquatic habitat, allowing the harvesting of fish and other proteins. They may attract other animals as well, with further harvesting options.

Moving from high-input monocul-

Instead of making rice more nutritious, it would be better to encourage diversification into fruits and vegetables. | MIKE RAINE PHOTO ture rice to organic, diverse holdings could better address the “rice issue,” and do it more healthfully than tinkering with rice itself.

Of course, poverty is the underlying cause of vitamin A deficiency. It

Introducing the

reduces farmers’ ability to negotiate a reasonable position in the agricultural system, which would provide the means for a healthful diet.

It is hard to see how entering into a patent protected process with pow-

erful first world companies will increase African or Asian farmers’ ability to secure viable options.

The more relevant cause of malnutrition is the loss of agricultural and ecosystem biodiversity. This results from the increasing dominance of large-scale monoculture agriculture and from the widespread use of herbicides, which kill everything else, including nutritious weeds.

Increasing the vitamin A potential of rice is not going to solve these problems. Malnutrition needs to be addressed as an ecosystem process, which considers our first world influence and its intended and unintended consequences.

Golden rice seems an attempt to

solve a problem of poverty and agricultural failure, but it does not address the root causes of either of these problems.

Eliminating herbicides, eating weeds and diversifying the agro-ecosystem seems to be a more effective option than more dependence on First World technology.

Who would truly benefit from golden rice? Perhaps its patent holders, but I doubt that this is the best way to bring benefits to those who suffer the most from a skewed agricultural system.

BEEF | FINANCE

PRODUCTION | INSURANCE

Higher prices, bigger loans Greater risk | Cattle producers who expand or rebuild their herds need risk management tools

Price insurance program popular with producers

BY MARY MACARTHUR

BY MARY MACARTHUR

CAMROSE BUREAU

CAMROSE BUREAU

EDMONTON — High-priced cattle are making the industry buoyant, but they are also making it more challenging to line up financing when buying.

“We’re living in a very different world than we were two years ago,” said Ruth Sarin of Edson, Alta., who operates a background feeding operation.

“It’s sending us to seek more financing than we’re used to.”

The price of cattle has almost doubled in the past year.

“It’s taking quite a bit more money to fill your feedlots and maintain your inventory,” she said.

“The loans have increased with the financial institutions and we’re using more of our own money.”

Sarin buys calves at 400 to 500 pounds and feeds them to 900 to 950 lb.

“In this environment, it’s important to have flexible loans,” said Sarin, who is buying calves for next summer’s grazing season.

Tim Adams, general manager of Canadian Cattle Buyers Credit in Moose Jaw, Sask., said the cattle feeding industry is not overpriced.

“It is where it is right now. In my opinion it’s business as usual with more money on the hook and more skin in the game,” he said.

“When you have $1,000 invested in an animal, it is one thing. When you have $2,000 invested, it is twice the risk.”

Adams said producers should use some kind of risk management, either through the Western Livestock Price Insurance Program or another risk management tool.

David Nilsson of Cattlemens Financial Corp. said the increasing flexibility of cattle loans has helped give producers options when feeding cattle and expanding their herds.

It’s taken a little time, but the new livestock price insurance program is catching on with cattle and hog producers, says the head of the program.

“We went to a lot of auction markets and bought a lot of coffee to have people listen to us,” said Bill Hoar, AFSC co-ordinator for the Western Livestock Price Insurance Program.

In 2009, Alberta producers bought 505 policies for fed cattle or cattle being finished for slaughter.

In 2013-14, which is the last 12 month period for complete numbers, Alberta producers bought 5,862 policies for all four types of livestock insurance: calves, fed, feeder and hogs.

“Year-over-year, we’re blowing through our estimates,” said Hoar.

As well, interest has been strong in the eight months since the insurance program was made available to hog and cattle producers across Western Canada.

Producers have insured 815,440 cattle and hogs worth $1.2 billion under the expanded Western Livestock Price Insurance program: • In British Columbia, 288 calf and feeder cattle policies have been sold to cover 33,583 head of cattle.

• In Alberta, 3,668 policies covering 570,479 calf, fed and feeder head were sold.

• In Saskatchewan 1,442 policies covering 168,698 calf, fed and feeder cattle were sold.

• In Manitoba, 451 policies covering 42,680 head of calf, fed, feeder and hogs were sold.

Only one hog policy — in Manitoba — was sold this year covering six head valued at $1,212.

Hoar said volatile prices have hit hog producers over the years, but producers have other risk management tools, such as contracting hogs to packing plants.

He called hogs a “work in progress.”

Feeder cattle were added in 2010 and calves and hogs later.

Twenty percent of all calves and feeder cattle and five to 10 percent of all fed cattle are now covered under the program.

The risk management tool was developed at the request of cattle and hog producers, who have shared a series of volatile prices. Prices dropped dramatically in 2003 when BSE closed borders to Canadian livestock.

Under the program, producers can pay a premium to receive a specific price in a specific time. They receive a payment if the price falls below the

“Guys are bigger now and they want to buy 200 head and sell 150, then buy 120, then sell 70. They’re buying and selling. They’re never going to zero. They’re never getting a chance to cash in their equity.

They’re building their herd, but they need some of that money,” he said.

“These loans are moving up and down all the time. They start with $1,500 owing on a cow and then

down to $500, then buy some more cows at $1,800 and any one time they have cows on the yard where they have $300 owing up to $1,500 owing.”

Nilsson said 20 years ago, cattle producers would borrow money to buy cattle, sell the cattle, pay out the loan and figure out how much profit was made.

Today’s cattle producers want more flexibility with their loans.

They may want to buy cows, keep some, sell others and take equity from the herd before the animals are sold.

Nilsson said the challenge with high-priced cattle is ensuring the calves from those cows continue to bring in top dollar.

“If you’re trying to pay off a cow that costs you $2,500 and if you’re getting $1,500 to $1,800 for the calf, then that is not so bad,” he said.

“If you’re getting $1,110 to $1,400 for a smaller calf, that is going to be difficult to pay for that $2,500 cow.

You’re still going to do it, but it will take longer.”

Cattlemens Financial Corp., and Canadian Cattle Buyers Credit are backed by Farm Credit Canada, which Nilsson and Adams said has not indicated it is getting close to a loan limit.

Ken Hamilton, manager of the livestock loan guarantee program in Saskatchewan, said the 58 feeder and breeder co-ops haven’t yet reached the financial cap.

About 44,000 cows and 50,000 feeders are under the program.

“Reaching the cap is not an issue with us,” he said.

Some cattle feeder associations in Alberta have reached their financial cap and can’t lend more money to members.

Ted Nibourg, a business management specialist with Alberta Agriculture, said he hasn’t received any calls this year from producers wanting to buy cattle. All his calls are from people wanting to sell their cattle.

“When even cull cows are two grand apiece, guys are saying, now is the time to pull the trigger,” said Nibourg.

“There are more people wanting to sell their cattle than buy them. I still can’t understand the logic of people entering the business at these high prices. The astute people are realizing these are not the times to get into it.”

Nilsson said most of the people looking for cow loans are existing producers or family members who want to expand their herds.

“There are not a lot of fresh people,” he said.

“It’s usually somebody’s sons coming in and taking it over or expanding it and making it bigger.

Cattle are costing more, but producers are still going to try and achieve the same return and get the same profits they’re getting.” mary.macarthur@producer.com

Labour issues worry beef producer group Plants under capacity | Labour shortage means industry isn’t making the most of market access

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

Canadian beef packing plants have a shaky future if they cannot find more workers.

“We fear right now as we deal with the tighter supplies, there are a lot of competitive pressures in North America with over-capacity in the packing industry,” Dennis Laycraft, executive vice-president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, said at the annual Alberta Beef Producers meeting in Calgary Dec. 2.

“We want to make sure with only two major plants in Canada that we do everything we can to make sure those plants are in a strong position to be the survivors.”

Cargill Meat Solutions is advertising for an additional 320 people and JBS Canada is looking for more than 150, even after conducting job fairs across Canada to attract workers.

Changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program in June had a major impact on these companies because they had regularly hired people from other countries.

“We appreciated that primary agriculture was exempted from changes, but the real problem for us is the plants,” said CCA president Dave Solverson.

“They think we should be able to source most of our labour in the country and we all know how difficult that is.”

The labour shortage means Canada struggles to take advantage of trade opportunities to fill new market specifications. For example, China accepts only boneless beef from Canada, but it takes more labour to remove the bones and in some cases there are too few people to do the work.

Laycraft said the labour shortage may be partly why more than 800,000 head of cattle have been exported to the United States for processing rather than staying in Canada.

Temporary workers have never been an ideal solution for packing plants and feedlots because they need employees to stay long term so that they can pick up the skills needed to

operate equipment and technology.

Well-trained employees are also necessary to implement high food safety and animal welfare standards.

“We’ve got to promote some of these jobs as career jobs,” Solverson said.

“They are not just miserable jobs that will be the same for the rest of your life in a packing plant.”

Many people who have moved up the corporate ladder started on the meat floor and were promoted when opportunities came along.

“We’ve got to quit talking about temporary foreign workers,” Solverson said. “We have got to somehow facilitate a move where they can fast track to citizenship.”

Laycraft said many workers have been able to attain citizenship and contribute to their adopted communities.

The CCA is collaborating with the National Cattle Feeders Association and the Canadian Meat Council to make recommendations to government.

“When you talk to your members of Parliament or others, continue to stress the fact this is a really important issue to the industry,” he said.

Competitive wages are another issue in the Alberta labour market.

Other jobs pay better, which makes it difficult for a high throughput meat plant to entice people. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

The Alberta Beef Producers has returned more than $9 million to producers since provincial legislation was changed to allow for a refund of the checkoff on cattle sold in Alberta. | FILE PHOTO BEEF | ORGANIZATION FUNDING

Call made for non-refundable checkoff

BY BARBARA DUCKWORTH CALGARY BUREAU

An impassioned debate over money resulted in resolutions asking for a reinstatement of the non-refundable checkoff on cattle sold in Alberta.

The once mighty Alberta Beef Producers finds itself penny pinching year to year as it watches nearly $2 million of potential revenue rebated to ranchers and feedlots who ask for their money back.

Three dollars is checked off the sale price and sent to ABP every time an animal is sold in Alberta. The organization collected $10.8 million in the budget year of 2014, based on the number of cattle sold. This is up slightly from 2013.

However ABP had to return $2.4 million to producers who asked for refunds.

As well, $1 per head is sent to the national Market Development and Promotion Agency to fund Canada Beef Inc. and the Beef Cattle Research Council. Last year, $3.7 million was submitted.

The $1 per head is mandatory, so those requesting a rebate receive $2 per animal sold.

“We want to get the checkoff nonrefundable,” Rob Somerville said during the ABP annual meeting held in Calgary Dec. 1-3.

“We will have to go to government to do that. We don’t know exactly

what they are going to say.”

The organization has refunded $9.4 million since the legislation was changed five years ago, according to the ABP annual report. Of that, $8 million was returned to feedlots.

The annual budget is now set at around $5 million, and ABP says it is struggling to meet its commitments.

Part of its mandate is to fund marketing, promotion and beef research as well as send $1.5 million a year to the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association.

The organization was founded as the Alberta Cattle Commission in 1969 with a non-refundable checkoff that has been challenged over the years.

The province agreed to make all checkoffs refundable five years ago, and in the ensuing debate there was talk of raising the checkoff and requesting a $1 non-refundable provincial levy.

There is also talk that the national levy will be increasing.

“It is perhaps a good time to catch up on the deficiencies that we have, especially in the research community, and build some capacity,” said Lyndon Mansell of Innisfree.

“If we can’t afford $2 now, we sure the devil won’t five years from now when the next catastrophe hits us.”

Considerable resentment was also expressed at the meeting toward producers who request refunds, and resolutions were passed requesting a

release of names of those who have received them.

The push for a refundable checkoff had been prompted by a lack of confidence in ABP, which some said had become too bureaucratic and unresponsive to grassroots opinions.

“I am ashamed of people in our industry that are pulling their checkoff dollars back,” said John de Groot of Vauxhall. “They had their reason a few years ago to pull their checkoff back. They don’t need to anymore.”

Others at the meeting complained that it is unfair for producers to benefit from research and promotion projects but not pay for them.

“I believe it is time we identify the people who don’t contribute to our organization,” said Brian Thiessen, who runs a feedlot near Strathmore.

“We have a very good group of people that contribute and believe strongly in ABP. I think we almost disrespect the people that contribute fully to ABP as we give everyone the same benefit, whether or not they are contributing.”

Two other resolutions requested stricter requirements when claiming a rebate. There are two refund periods each year, and the resolutions said all supporting documents and other paperwork should be submitted within 60 days. There is now no deadline to provide proof of cattle sold. barbara.duckworth@producer.com

“We have been building the system from the ground up.”

Hoar doesn’t believe increased interest in the program is connected solely to higher priced cattle. It is also part of a greater awareness of

the program.

“We learned very early that we had to get out and explain the program for producers and make producers aware that the program even existed,” he said.

“We keep slugging along, building up awareness and trust.”

Timely payments are one of the biggest attractions for producers.

Cheques are written the same week as the claim.

“The timeliness is a real strong component to the program,” said Hoar. mary.macarthur@producer.com

Support for animal welfare research shrinks Securing funds | National Farmed Animal Health and Welfare Council warns that welfare issues will become trade issues

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

O T TAWA — R e s e a rc h t h a t i s focused on food animal welfare is suffering from reduced federal funding and limited capacity, a group dedicated to farmed animal welfare was told Nov. 24.

Canada has about 20 scientists doing research on various aspects of farm animal welfare, almost all of them at universities.

Most of them spend less than half t h e i r t i m e o n a c t u a l re s e a rc h because of teaching commitments and other factors.

David Fraser, a University of British Columbia professor and member of the National Farmed Animal Health and Welfare Council (NFAHW), said the federal government was responsible for most animal-welfare related research until the early 1990s, when major budget cuts took a toll. There have been additional reductions since then.

“Just in the last two years, of the eight remaining (federal government) positions that one would iden-

DAVID FRASER ANIMAL WELFARE COUNCIL MEMBER

tify as farm animal welfare research, five of the positions were disbanded, so this has reduced the federal government to being quite a minor player in farm animal welfare research,” Fraser said in an interview after his report to the council.

“This tells me that, for those of us who are concerned about the issue, we’ve really failed to communicate its importance to the federal research authorities.”

That realization prompted one of four recommendations that Fraser itemized at the meeting: identify roles for public sector funding of animal welfare research and present them to Agriculture Canada, the

Canadian Food Inspection Agency and other agencies to encourage funding support.

The council also identified major issues with the grant application and reporting process, which researchers are required to undertake. In Fraser’s studies of the problem, he found many scientists spent half their time applying for funding instead of doing research.

As a result, the council asked the National Farm Animal Care Council to establish a process for communication among researchers and funders to streamline the application and reporting process.

“We couldn’t make it any more difficult for researchers if we tried,” said Canadian Poultry Research Council executive director Bruce Roberts.

He estimated that his organization has spent more than $4 million on animal welfare-related research.

However, the cost of that research is steadily rising, and researcher efficiencies in a more streamlined application and reporting system could help control those costs.

Every organization has a different

structure for its grant process, said Roberts.

“We’re creating this multiplicity of applications that is taking (researchers) hours to do.”

It takes up to two years to get funding in many cases, and requirements to do peer reviews for others can add another complication.

A third NFAHW recommendation called on all producer and farmed animal organizations to gain a greater understanding of the social and economic aspects welfare issues.

It also encouraged commodity groups without specific research clusters to identify animal welfare priorities, which would improve the chances of acquiring interest and funding.

Dr. Reynold Bergen, science director for the Beef Cattle Research Council, said formation of a beef science cluster has allowed his industry to leverage more government funding.

The BCRC had an annual budget of about $300,000 when the BCRC was established. Limited funds made it difficult to get researchers’ attention.

Formation of the beef value chain

round table allowed the industry to present its research priorities and recommendations directly to stakeholders and to the federal agriculture minister, Bergen said.

He noted the relationship between animal welfare research and trade, a point on which Fraser elaborated in the federal government context.

“I think the smart people on the trade side recognize that farm animal welfare is an important issue for trade. For example, in the last nine years, the World Organization for Animal Health has passed one after another standard for animal welfare … almost always unanimously accepted by the now 180 member countries of the organization.

“These are starting to become an issue in bilateral trade agreements so I think the forward looking people with a trade focus realize the need to have a high and visibly high standard of animal welfare as a means of facilitating trade, but perhaps that realization isn’t universal among our trade people.” barb.glen@producer.com

Canada’s transport rules ‘embarrassingly far behind’

BY BARB GLEN LETHBRIDGE BUREAU

OTTAWA — Animal transportation is the next priority for Mercy For Animals.

It’s the group responsible for recent undercover videos showing animal cruelty at the Western Hog Exchange in Red Deer and Chilliwack Cattle

Sales in British Columbia.

Krista Osborne, executive director for the group in Canada, was in Ottawa at the end of November seeking lobbyists to promote changes to animal transport regulations.

In an interview at the National Farmed Animal Health and Welfare Council meeting, Osborne said the Western Hog Exchange investiga-

tion, which led to a television documentary on W-5, illustrated the need for regulatory improvement.

“It ended up being a real emphasis on how outdated our transportation regulations are in Canada. Our transportation regulations fall embarrassingly far behind every other major country, including new Zealand, Australia, the entire European Union and even the United States,” said Osborne.

She said eight million animals a year die in Canada because of poor transportation, attributing the number to Canadian Food Inspection Agency figures.

Osborne repeated that figure in queries to panelists during a Nov. 24 NFAHW session on animal welfare research capacity.

She referred to an Ontario chicken operation accused of violating federal animal health regulations, which resulted in the deaths of thousands of chickens.

Chicken Farmers of Canada executive director Mike Dungate said producers follow a code of practice that covers transport. Issues arise when meat birds are ready for transport and weather conditions are adverse for shipping.

Holding the chickens back can cause other animal welfare issues, he added.

Dungate cited ongoing research at the University of Saskatchewan and in Ontario aimed at improving chicken welfare in transport.

Greg Douglas, chief veterinarian for Ontario, said most veterinarians have examples of poor decisions made about animal transport. Re-search and training are key to reducing livestock mortality related to shipping.

Osborne said in an interview that

KRISTA OSBORNE MERCY FOR ANIMALS

Mercy For Animals has sent a proposal for changes to animal transport regulations to federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz but has not received a response.

“What continues to astound me is why farmers do not appeal to Gerry Ritz themselves,” said Osborne.

“I can’t imagine that they are happy to know that eight million of their animals do not enter the human food supply chain as a direct result of our egregious transportation regulations. They should be on our side and they should be working with us to demand that these transportation regulations at minimum meet the standards that apply in the European Union.”

Osborne said Mercy For Animals has ongoing investigations in Canada but declined to provide specifics.

The organization has been investigating animal agriculture in Canada

for two years and in the United States for 15 years and has exposed animal cruelty at every site it has entered.

“This leads us to believe that cruelty runs rampant throughout the factory farming industry.”

O s b o r n e c o n f i r m e d t hat h e r group’s goal is to eliminate animal agriculture in favor of veganism.

“At Mercy For Animals, we believe that the only way to ensure that we are not participating in cruel practices towards animals is to adopt a vegan diet. That’s the only way anyone can be assured that they’re not participating in the kind of practices that our undercover investigations portray.

“Having said that, we also recognize that the world will not wake up vegan tomorrow, and until that time we do strive for better welfare practices for animals that do become part of the food supply chain.”

The Ottawa conference included representatives from national beef, pork, chicken, dairy, sheep and mink organizations as well as federal and provincial government veterinarians, researchers and others focused on farmed animal welfare. barb.glen@producer.com

RESEARCH | VIRUS SPREAD

BVD exposure may increase respiratory disease potential ANIMAL HEALTH

JOHN CAMPBELL, DVM, DVSC

BVD can temporarily suppress an animal’s immune system

P

ersistently infected calves are important sources of bovine viral diarrhea virus in cattle, but they might also cause respiratory disease at the feedlot level.

Dr. Dan Grooms of the Michigan State University recently told the Academy of Veterinary Consultants in Denver, Colorado, that these calves occur at a relatively low prevalence of three to five of every 1,000 weaned calves arriving at the feedlot, but they can play an important role in how disease occurs within the feedlot.

The persistently infected calf sheds huge quantities of virus and will spread it to other exposed calves, usually those in the same pen.

BVD virus can temporarily suppress an animal’s immune system, which makes it more susceptible to other infections from other bacteria and viruses.

This means that a feedlot calf that shares its environment with a persistently infected animal might be more likely to get respiratory disease because of the immunosuppressive effects of the BVD virus infection.

Grooms summarized three studies that looked at the effects of exposure to BVD virus on feedlot cattle health.

One of the studies involved two truckloads of weaned calves (92 calves per truckload), which were transported to Michigan State’s Beef

A study showed calves vaccinated for BVD were 57 percent less likely to require a second treatment for respiratory disease. | FILE PHOTO Cattle Research Center.

All of the calves were unvaccinated for BVD virus and had not previously been exposed to the virus.

Two persistently infected BVD calves were added to one of the two trucks just before transport, and half of the calves on each truckload were given a modified live BVD vaccine when they arrived at the university.

The calves exposed to the persistently infected animals were housed separately throughout the feeding period.

Calves that were continuously exposed to persistently infected BVD calves were twice as likely to be treated for respiratory disease than the calves that were not exposed to persistently infected calves.

Calves that were vaccinated for BVD virus were 57 percent less likely to require re-treatment than calves that were not vaccinated.

Another study created five groups of calves on a farm before transporting them to the university.

Half the calves in each group

received a modified live BVD vaccine two weeks before weaning. A persistently infected BVD calf was introduced to two of the five groups, which created four treatment groups: • Exposed to persistently infected calves preweaning and vaccinated for BVD preweaning.

• Exposed to persistently infected calves preweaning and not vaccinated for BVD preweaning.

• Not exposed to persistently infected calves preweaning and vacci-

nated for BVD preweaning.

• Not exposed to persistently infected calves preweaning and not vaccinated for BVD preweaning.

The calves were placed together in one pen once they arrived at the university’s feedlot.

The study did not find a link between exposure to cattle persistently infected with BVD and treatment rates, but it did demonstrate that cattle vaccinated for BVD virus pre-weaning were less likely to be retreated.

The third study involved a group of 500 pound beef calves, half of which were given a modified live BVD vaccine three weeks before weaning.

The calves were moved to the university’s feedlot at weaning, and four BVD persistently infected calves were introduced. They stayed with the group throughout the feeding period.

The treatment, re-treatment and re-pull rates did not vary significantly between the treatment groups in this study.

The three studies attempted to replicate typical feedlot scenarios, in which weaned calves may be exposed to persistently infected BVD calves when they are placed together in the auction market or feedlot.

The results are variable, but these and other similar studies have demonstrated that calves that are constantly exposed to persistently infected BVD calves may have higher

treatment rates for respiratory disease, probably as a result of the immunosuppressive effects of BVD virus.

However, the results are not consistent, and other factors probably affected the results, such as age and immune status, stocking density and perhaps the strain of BVD virus involved. Several studies, including some of Grooms’ research, were unable to show a significant impact from being exposed to a persistently infected calf.

Ideally, we would like to prevent exposure of weaned calves to persistently infected BVD calves. Controlling BVD virus largely depends on preventing these persistent infections from occurring.

It is important to understand that persistently infected calves are created only through fetal infection. As a result, our vaccine strategies must protect the fetus by vaccinating the cow.

This disease can significantly affect the feedlot, but the primary control strategy can be carried out only by the cow-calf producer.

The critical time period for fetal protection is the first four months of gestation, and the cow needs a high antibody level to provide that protection to the fetus.

also boost revenues. Gervais expects it to stay in the 85 to 90 cent range next year.

Rising costs will offset strong revenues, including for labour, land and fertilizer.

However, he said the money coming in will outweigh the money going out for all of the major crops grown in Western Canada.

The livestock outlook is much better. Low feed grain prices have vastly improved sector profitability, and margins in the hog sector have been “spectacular” because of the contraction of the U.S. herd caused by the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus.

Margins will be tighter next year, but most facets of farming will still be using the black ink cartridge, says Farm Credit Canada.

J.P. Gervais, FCC’s chief agricultural economist, told Agri-Trend’s 2014 Farm Forum Event that grain and oilseed prices are down and input costs are up, but there is still money to be made in grain farming.

“It’s tighter, for sure, but I don’t think the sky is falling at all,” he said.

And the good times will keep rolling for livestock producers.

“I think the outlook is extremely positive,” said Gervais.

His biggest concern for Western Canada’s agriculture sector is its inability to keep up with wage increases in other sectors.

Saskatchewan farm workers averaged a three percent annual wage increase from 2008-13, but that is well below the nearly four percent hike in all other sectors of the economy.

Gervais said it is going to be a major impediment in the region’s ability to meet the growing global demand for crops.

Grain prices have steadily tumbled since their highs in 2012.

Gervais believes corn and wheat prices should remain near today’s values next year, while oilseed prices could drop.

Grain sector revenue should still be strong despite the lacklustre prices.

“The best thing that is going on for us right now in grains and oilseeds is that we still have very strong demand on the export market side of things,” he said.

The U.S. economy, which is picking up steam, consumes 30 percent of Canada’s grain and oilseed exports.

The downside is that wages in the United States have been falling, which could hurt consumption.

The growth in China’s gross domestic product has been slowing down, but the economy is still expanding by about seven percent per year.

China’s growth has been slowing partly because of a shrinking labour supply. The good news is that this will force wages to increase, which in turn drives consumption.

“I would be worried if I were part of the industrial sector, but if I think about ag and food, I’m not worried at all,” said Gervais.

FINANCES | TAX DEFERRALS

The problem with success is profit — and profit means taxes MANAGING THE FARM

SCOTT DICKSON

M

any people in agriculture don’t understand that taxes are a sign of prosperity.

In an industry that is taught to avoid paying taxes at all costs, the thought of forking over any money to the government, even in years of record profits, is hard to swallow.

Canadian agriculture tax rules allow farmers to defer cash profits and calculate taxable income on a cash basis.

This has resulted in many farms being able to avoid paying tax.

Deferrals work, but they create a tax hangover that can be addressed only in a year of disastrous income.

Counting on a bad year seems ludicrous as a tax strategy, but history has shown this to be the norm rather than the exception, which is why it continues as a solid tax strategy today.

A tax partner of mine used to say, back when personal tax rates were close to 50 percent, that he wished he paid $5 million in taxes because that meant he earned $10 million.

Taxes are a result of being profitable and should be more widely seen as a sign of success.

It does not mean you have to be

PotashCorp eyes control of firms (Reuters) — PotashCorp is sizing up its chances of gaining control of four companies in which it holds minority stakes.

The company, which is the world’s largest fertilizer producer, is reviewing its $4.5 billion worth of investments in China’s Sinofert Holdings Ltd., Israel Chemicals, Jordan’s Arab Potash Co. PLC and Chile’s SQM. “The strategic objective is to obtain some control or participation in the companies,” said chief executive officer Jochen Tilk.

“We see them as opportunities, but we’re also mindful that we can’t be (in) minority investments forever unless we have a plan going forward.”

The company has long said it wanted majority stakes but is now conducting a formal review of the investments.

Tilk said he is content with the influence PotashCorp holds at Arab Potash and Sinofert.

No decisions have been made, and PotashCorp would not act without consulting the companies involved, Tilk said.

It tried to buy control of Israel Chemicals under previous CEO Bill Doyle but was rebuffed last year by the Israeli government, which holds a golden share.

PotashCorp is also examining its phosphate operations. It is trying to improve phosphate profit margins but is also considering alternatives.

happy about paying them, but it does mean you are doing something right.

A history of paying tax indicates your farm is profitable and routinely making good management decisions that result in profit.

Changing the legal structure of your operation to a partnership, joint venture or company might give you more tools to control taxes and help your succession plan.

New structures can reduce the taxes that are owed by using corporate tax rates or allowing for income splitting with the next generation.

Alternatively, restructuring can provide flexibility if your ultimate goal is to exit the industry.

Gaining access to the multiple

capital gains exemptions that are available to the family farm can also be achieved as an additional benefit.

It requires significant tax planning, so don’t try this on your own.

Don’t forget that other benefits, such as increases to your AgriStability margins, occur as your operation continues to be profitable because the program is based on your accrual profit.

Accrual profits are usually larger than your cash profits if you have been taking advantage of deferrals and prepayments of input expense or purchasing inventory.

Yes, I know you have all heard how the changes to AgriStability have made it less attractive, but the last

couple of years of great profits in the grain sector have resulted in significant increases to the five-year margin averages.

For example, the old program’s 85 percent coverage was $850,000 when applied to a margin of $1 million.

Today, the coverage is lower at 70 percent, but the margin is better at $2 million, which yields $1.4 million in coverage.

Beef and hog production has been highly profitable this year. AgriStability will make sense for producers if that continues for a couple of years because it is the only safety net available to protect against a crash.

Remember, AgriStability is a disaster program and you really never

want it to pay out because it means you have had a wreck.

However, that is exactly when you will need the financial protection it provides. You just might have to wait a while for it.

So as you curse writing that tax cheque and blame your accountant f o r n o t w o rk i n g ha rd e n o u g h, remember that no one went broke locking in a profit. As well, make sure you know where profit shows up on your farm by knowing your true costs of production.

I know, I know: spoken like a true accountant.
